    1) that was far from the filthiest move I’ve ever seen ... in fact it’s way more common than not

    2) if you look at that angle Harden gets that contact Johnson’s in the middle of his slide ... he’s not off balance leading into it and looks like a baby fawn afterwards as his feet are massively messed up

    3) that being said, Johnson should be clowned for going down like that on that move

    The most comparable move/action I can think of to that was Jordan’s shot on Russell in the 98 Finals. In both cases, give Jordan/Harden massive credit for being able to have the body control to stop on a dime and use a little bit of arm action to discard the defender. Nobody looks at the Jordan play and says that Russell got clowned.

    And I guess that’s my point, Harden’s clearly got tremendous skills and that’s a really tough move to stop as a defender. But that move doesn’t fuck up a defender unless he’s caught off balance with the contact and/or just really really sucks. I put that move at like 30% Harden’s skill level and 70% on Johnson just sucking.

    White guys also obsess over traveling calls at the IM

    I'm not saying there is anything wrong with white guys so don't twist

    Why do you hate moving picks and over the back calls.

    FUCK I hate over the back. That is such bullshit.

    If a dude is 6'11 and he reaches over a 6'0" guy for a rebound....IT'S A REBOUND !!!!

    Instead the zebra fucks call "over the back"... WTF?!?!

    Google that shit in the rulebook.
