VIDEO: Russell Westbrook and James Harden Fighting Each Other for the Last Shot in NBA 2K is Golden
By Sam Dunn
How do you make functional basketball happen when your team is built around the two most singularly ball-dominant players perhaps in the history of the NBA? Well, you let them fight it out, of course. May the best Rocket win. And that's precisely what happened in this NBA2K simulation when James Harden and Russell Westbrook both saw the opportunity for a buzzer-beater against the Warriors, as shared by basketball Twitter All-Star Black Tray:

Virtual Russ called game.
Expect a whole lot of this during the 2019-20 season. The prickly Chris Paul maybe out of the picture in Houston, but figuring out how to run an offense that includes both Harden and Westbrook -- there's only one basketball, folks! -- could present the greatest headache of Mike D'Antoni's coaching career.
