It’s no secret that James Harden falls harder than Taylor Swift and does more acting than your girlfriend in bed. He led the NBA in free throws last season, and a large number of those can be attributed to his knack for creating contact when there’s none to be had. It’s a glaringly obvious gimmick that works more often than it should. I can pretend that the morally void, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cut corners at my job. The only small difference is I didn’t just sign a 4-year, $118 million contract SO BE BETTER, JAMES.
I gotta hand it to this hilarious dude who heckled Harden about his flopping tendencies as a Drew League game over the weekend, he truly was speaking for all of us.
In that same vein, here are five of Harden’s finest flop jobs.
