Houston Rockets star James Harden was in no mood to be heckled during a Drew League game on Sunday.
Harden has a reputation for flopping, as he sometimes attempts to get to the line and score points by any means necessary. One particular fan thought he saw the Rockets guard flop in the Drew League game, and he let Harden know about it.
“You’re flopping, bro,” the fan told Harden. “You’re Vlade Divac-ing out there.”
Harden calmly walked over to the fan and stated his case. You’d think that would’ve calmed his critic down, but instead, it just added fuel to the fire.
“Hell nah, James!” the fan yelled. “You better be honest, man. We’re Boy Scouts!”
That didn’t phase Harden, though. He turned around, got his composure, received an inbounds pass from a teammate and the game resumed.
Harden did a good job of keeping his cool and tried his best to deal with the raucous fan in a calm, reasonable manner.
