To be fair, I've never seen Harden get bullied or pushed around or picked on either. He's never backed down from what I recall.
HE needs to control that dirty hands trick. guess he got it from the Donald Trump trick on grabbing women's by the hand.
I saw what he did like everybody...it was a straight stiff arm to his upper torso no more....chocking ? Now that's bs straight up..protecting his man as I expect him to do NENE 4 ever ! etc
He's never backed down, but he's been pushed around and the height of the team's reaction has been Bev picking him up. We just don't notice it because Harden doesn't show that it mattered, which is smart. That's one of his great habits. He somehow transforms his anger into a kind of chilled out murder lol.
