Why do refs treat Harden so differently?

[34-24 Footwork]

This reminds me of people complaining about Curry "flopping" because he decides to fall on his ass rather than come down on a size 16 foot and risk another ankle injury. You don't understand basketball if you don't understand that rule.

Harden, as much as I dislike his game, doesn't deserve to be bruce bowen'd or jalen rose'd.


Good luck on your karma, as well.

Actually Curry is the polar opposite. He doesn't get enough love from the refs.

Because the refs were told to allow King James to travel and stiff arm and not be allowed to breath on him only they got confused about which King James was the one in question.

He's exploiting the rules. Think:


Lebron- travel/charge/stiff-arm
James Harden- 3 step-step back

No different than Lebron's treatment from 08-16.

League rules are even weaker now. Figures a SG like Harden can exploit that to the fullest.
