Anyone notice how often Harden makes that face during the course of a game? Good play or bad play, it seems like he does it every other minute. Teeth must be sore haha
Just my 2 cents but I believe his teeth has helped his game.. Sound silly? Teeth can boost your confidence and my belief is that his confidence has grown and more comfortable, which helped his game.
And tight braces make your mouth hurt so instead of thinking about pressure-packed situations and psyching himself out, he is thinking about his mouth hurting like a b**** which allows him to hit clutch shots.
Braces are a long and painful process James! Good luck with that! (says guy who had braces as a kid in the 2003 - 2007 range)
