Is James Harden's Step Back up there with Kareem's Sky Hook & MJ's Fade Away?

Is that a Rick-roll?

and why isn't there a Harden smile?

Yes it is, unless the refs decide to call travel on the extra steps. That's it's only flaw.

I think players defend it poorly

Defenders react to the move by stepping towards harden when he steps back, but not leaving their feet to try to alter the shot as well. Harden seemingly takes a contested shot, but the defender isn't leaving their feet most of the time like they normally would. Harden sort of gets them to step back with him

Unstoppable. lol This clown was basically trying to shoot them out of the Rocket/Warrior series with his idiotic step back 3pters. You want him to take them. He doesn't make a high percentage of them...especially when it's playoff time.

I'd say his defense is equal to Lin's .
