That shot over the two "best defenders in the galaxy" gives me chills. Harden is now a great all time player in a very high echelon.
I've been watching NBA bball and the Rockets since the year they arrived in Houston. I spent hundreds of hours playing in my driveway, a slow, non-athletic white kid pretending to be Calvin Murphy. All things considered, that shot by Harden is one of the greatest shots I've ever seen. Had it won a playoff series, it might even count as THE best. With what he'd already done in that game, considering we were playing them 1 All-Star to 4 All-Stars, the fact that he hit it right in the grills of a loudmouth former DPOY and a really long perimeter defender with almost no time left, on national television, is just flat-out astounding. Ralph's The Shot was more important, but it was lucky. The Kiss of Death was also more important, as were a handful of other big playoff shots. MJ was being covered by Ehlo, for chrissakes, and he was allowed to push off on Byron Russell. But this shot of Harden's was so otherworldly freakin' brilliant it needs a nickname of its own.
