Footlocker’s Week of Greatness returns where they will be releasing the freshest shoes of the year! They brought in Derrick Rose and Tim Duncan to speak about their “Excitement” for the week and James Harden who got a little “Defensive” when asked if he’d be attending the week of greatness. These are two great ads that will have you laughing all week long!
James Harden is one of the leagues elite scorers so it’s no surprise he hits this circus shot against the Detroit Pistons!
Two of the leagues rising stars went to battle at the end of tonights game between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets! Stephen Curry and James Harden were given the ball in their hands and they both delivered. James Harden hit a step back jumper to put the Rockets up two, while Stephen Curry hit a floater over Dwight Howard to send the game into overtime! The Warriors pulled off the win 122-99.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Dwight Howard ended a tough relationship and it ended with Lakers fans pissed off and a happy Dwight Howard in Houston. Tonight you were able to see both sides of the “Dwightmare”. Dwight Howard heard “Howard Sucks” chance from Lakers fans and in Dwight fashion he joined in with “Howard Sucks” chants of his own. He responded seconds later with an alley-oop jam from James Harden! Dwight returned with 20 points and 13 rebounds during a 134-108 victory.
James Harden had a hell of a game tonight against the Washington Wizards as he poured in 35 points with 6 rebounds and 6 assists. None of his 35 points were as important as his last two as the guard euro-stepped through the lane for the game winning lay up! The Rockets won 113-112.

These two ex teammates are good friends but even friends can become enemies on the basketball court. Kevin Durant dunks as James Harden gets caught under the basket!
Memphis Grizzles forward, James Johnson crossed up Houston Rockets guard, James Harden and attacked the rim!!
James Harden suffered an ankle injury in which he called “very, very, very painful” and knocked down two free throws after it while only standing on one leg! Took a page out of Kobe’s book but much respect to James.
