James Harden playing defense?
The Los Angeles Clippers star has often been criticized for not playing much defense, but he proved all the doubters wrong when he brilliantly contested a three-point field goal attempt.
The only problem was that it was shot by his own teammate, Kawhi Leonard.
NBA fans were baffled needless to say.

Fortunately, Harden has offered an explanation for his excellent defense that resembled Flint Tropics’ great Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell) attempting to block his own team’s shots in the movie Semi-Pro so that he wouldn’t have to give the fans free corn dogs.
“It’s just me trying to create a great energy or great vibe for this team. It would have been better if he made the shot but give somebody something to laugh about.”
Despite the great defense, the Clippers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 116-103.
