    Not really. I definitely felt sometimes over the year Harden got complacent and tried to draw fouls, rather than just trying to score and drawing fouls as a result. It's not a huge deal, but it would make him a better player so why not?

    ^.

    It really only happens when he tries to get a foul while gathering the ball. Not when he's near the basket.

    Like you said, not the biggest deal in the world but it's still something to improve upon.

    James Harden should learn to draw fouls more elegantly like Kevin Martin

    Martin looked like a ballerina out there with his moves and it made me really hard

    Harden seems to be the cornerstone/face of Team USA

    Harden dominating defensively and offensively, despite the airball

    Knew someone would be quick to come in here and crap on those first 2 shots.

    Early game jitters, quickly proved why he's so damn good after that start.

    2 airballs to start, but he looks great since then. He looks like he wants to D up as well. I'm excited/nervous to see if this carries over to the season.

    Harden with 7 in a row. Announcers are so hesistant to compliment Harden though since it's the summer of Rockets hate.

    They're absolutely blasting harden. They've been laughing at him the last 10 minutes

    And that is AFTER getting 2 steals a couple assists and 7 straight points...

    Derrick Rose had 7 points, Harden 20 the last exhibition game and the ESPN bottom scroll said Derrick Rose dominated the game along with Anthony Davis.
