James Harden is on another plane of ball-handling that the rest of us wouldn't understand, unless you've played either version of NBA Street for PS2. For those too young to understand that reference, you're flat out of luck. Against the Wolves on Saturday, Harden brought one defender to his knees before stealing another's soul with a vicious nutmeg. Yes, those two things belong in the same sentence, in this case.

Oh my goodness.

Harden gets a bad rep in part for his flopping, and the fact he rewrites the rulebook as it pertains to traveling violations. In this case, however, the Wolves have no excuse or bad claim to fall back on. Just go home.
