Again, the guy dribbling the ball pushed Harden's foot out of the way....sorry, not thread worthy. 9 out of 10 of these plays usually involve a trip of some sort.
With what? An unusually large breath of air?!?! Doesn't look at all (from that image) as if he touched Harden, certainly not with enough force to knock him down....
look at the feet...the dribbler stuck his right foot out as he lifted the ball to fake, harden's inside foot caught it, and caused him to slide.
Lol that would have happened had he not pushed with his left hand first. Hardens foot just flew past and didn't touch.
Im not sure if the computer i'm on is too slow or the uploaded vids are just too crappy right now...i'll try to upload a still tomrrow. I'm pretty sure one of harden's feet caught the dribbler's lead foot. Look at harden's actions just prior to falling, especially his left thigh/hip. He's going forward to try to block the guy's path. All of sudden his leg buckles. Harden didn't initiate that movement. Movement starts from the hip and his hip was going forward.
RV6....... who? cares? why get all technical? still a nice move nonetheless. i guarantee you that no one is going to pay attention and analyze a GIF highlight. You could do the same thing for countless other plays
go on nbcoolympics.com and log in with your cable provider. i saw the first half of this game and got bored. oh yea, sick cross over on james harden. shame on you!
Do you have Comcast? I have just basic cable that comes with Comcast On Demand and just discovered tonight that the Olympics is On Demand. All games are rewatchable, as well as most other events. cool
This is no big deal. Wade made a similar play a few years ago in the NBA by stepping on a defender's foot.
