The Houston-Cleveland game was an instant classic but it might have been marred had it not been for cooler heads prevailing after James Harden decided to kick LeBron James in the nuts. As Harden found himself swarmed by Cavs defenders, frustration set in and Harden hit the court and slammed his foot into LeBron’s groin. […]

How do you say “breaking ankles” in Spanish? Oh yeah, “tobillos ruptura.” I translated that for Minnesota’s Ricky Rubio (who hails from Spain) because Houston’s James Harden just “rompió los tobillos.” Check out Harden dropping Rubio to the court with a sick crossover. See quality NBA highlights with a quick Spanish lesson!
Can Kevin McHale get this man to commit himself to the defensive end of the floor and, in the process, become the complete two-way player he is capable of becoming? No question facing the Houston Rockets is more urgent than that one.

The narrative is right there if you want it bad enough. Go ahead, say it. Tell me that the Rockets lost Wednesday night because of their addiction to the long ball, their neurotic, overly calculated mental-hoops. Enlighten me, oh, Round Mound, on why the Clippers are a real basketball team — “they are tuuuurifcally talented,” Chuck might say […]

So if you needed more proof that Houston’s James Harden is a leading candidate for the NBA MVP, then check out this play he recently had versus the Bucks. First he fakes out one player off the three point line, then he drives to the lane only to fake pass a Bucks’ player right out […]

There’s getting blocked and then there’s getting blocked and knocked down to the ground like Houston’s James Harden. The Bulls faced the Rockets and Chicago’s Jimmy Butler drew the assignment of guarding Harden and in the video below, it seems he did just fine. Harden was going for the shot with Butler in his face […]

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden may be known for his shooting skills but it seems during the Rockets’ game against the Hornets, James showed he can do much more. Namely pin-point passing. During the 4th quarter, Harden had a bullet pass to Trevor Ariza through the teeth of the Hornet defense. Sweet pass, bro. Now about […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6gOtkwYbao&feature=youtu.be Good on James Harden for seeing the humor in his usually horrible defense. And good on Foot Locker for another hilarious ad on NBA life. After the Dante Exum ads that came out around the draft and the ads of Damian Lillard offending Barry Sanders, Chris Webber and Karl Malone, Foot Locker appears to be […]

Success in the NBA is no different than experiencing success anywhere else. In order to sustain the high of winning, it is required to trudge through the depths of defeat. Deep, huh? The Oklahoma City Thunder have been riding that high for about six years now, ever since they linked up Kevin Durant with Russell […]

The NBA recently completed its GM survey before the season as it always does and included in it whom the general managers thought were the contenders for the NBA championship and the best player at each position. This is a good gauge of where the movers and shakers in the league believe the season will […]

It was not that long ago when the Orlando Magic’s top priority was dealing away a disgruntled Dwight Howard, and the Magic fans’ top priority was winning the break up. When Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan signed, sealed and delivered Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, Walt Disney’s neighbors were not so pleased. That was […]

Remember how excited everyone was for Greg Oden to enter the NBA? That was it. He was going to be the next big . . . big. He had all the tangibles. He had all the intangibles. Oden was going to enter a guard-dominated league and refresh us with a traditional presence of a true center. […]

Championship windows are notoriously fickle. Not every team gets to be the Spurs and sit through a decade-long window of championship contention with a never-ending, revolving door of great players that fit a role and stars who are completely selfless. Those just do not exist everywhere — and they all seem to be in San […]

James Harden is not known for his defense. It has become a favorite Internet meme. But . . . So . . . that is not very good defense. Fortunately Team USA is dominating Serbia thanks to Harden’s offense and Kyrie Irving’s incredible performance from beyond the arc. No video yet of Harden flying out […]

Houston fans and coaching staff may want to not even press play on this video considering it’s their star player — James Harden — taking a risk on a Segway. Harden is in Spain with Team USA for the FIBA World Cup and was taped soaking in the sights while on a Segway. So what could […]
