James Harden Calls Reporter "Weirdo"

[Knoe Itawl]

Harden flatly said he wasn't worried about his offense.

"It's basketball," Harden said. "You're going to miss shots. It's basketball, that's it."

The interview session moved on, Harden calmly answered additional questions from other reporters. The Rockets' line of flat-screen TVs scrolled through the team's statistical ranks on the season, including their defensive efficiency rank of 13th. Harden focused on the Rockets' defense as their downfall in Game 2.

"I'm not worried about my offense, I'm worried about our defense -- our defense as a team," Harden said.

A few minutes later, the questions stopped coming, but not before Harden, evidently still aggravated, circled back and spun the questioning to the aforementioned reporter, taking issue with his basketball credibility.

"You've never seen someone shoot 29 percent in two games? You must not watch basketball."

The longtime reporter responded that he'd watching basketball longer than Harden had been alive. And that Harden should be held to a higher standard because he is All-NBA.

"Weirdo," Harden said, before walking out of the room once Houston's PR staff stepped in.

I find it tremendously more funny that he has been emphasizing the "team defense" as the Rockets' flaw, instead of owning up to his individual defensive failings :oldlol:

[MUGEN]

There's no video of it because he waited until the interview was over lol I think the way the OP's article is worded it can be a bit misleading

"But when his media session in the Rockets opulent locker room ended, Harden went back at the reporter, asking if he had ever seen a player not play well before. The reporter answered that the struggle seemed unusual for Harden and was coming on a major stage, the playoffs.

The two went back and forth for a while, with Harden asking the reporter if he
