The move was irrelevent. Staring at him and waiting until he got back up to shoot was everything.salemcoog said:
It wasn't that great of a move, but He ded.Tequilla said: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.

That part I agree with ... but that’s the part of Harden I can’t stand ... stare him down AFTER you make the shot ... he misses that shot and he looks as dumb as Johnson IMOWilburHooksHands said:

I fucking hate Mina Kimes. She’s not funny, she’s not interesting. she gets all this focus because Lebatard and his minions want to fuck her.

His footwork is insane and he makes it look effortless. I think Presti has a great eye for young talent, but he fucked up letting Harden go.WilburHooksHands said:

People have a hard time accepting that James Harden is insanely good. -
THAT is what makes it cool. Any dip shit can do it after finding out if it's ok.Tequilla said:

Everybody in ACC territory thought he was going to be a star.huskyhooligan said:Whatever, he's no Randolph Childress.

Jeff McInnis is probably a bigger name twenty years later. Sad. -
That's the part of Babe Ruth I can't stand. Call your shot AFTER you hit the homerun...he strikes out there and he looks as dumb as Johnson, IMO.Tequilla said:
