James Harden breaks LeBron James ankles (Video)
By Mike Dyce
Houston Rockets guard James Harden crossed up LeBron James and broke his ankles.
Things have been getting testy between the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon, resembling more of an NFL game than an NBA contest.
Let’s see… there was a baseline scuffle between Cavaliers superstar LeBron James and Patrick Beverley. Then there was the Ndamukong Suh like incident when Rockets guard, and MVP candidate, James Harden kicked James in the groin.
Seriously… that happened.
Now Harden is taking it a step further with some legal moves on LeBron James, crossing him up and breaking his ankles. Harden faked one direction than the other and James was on skates and out of position and Harden blew past him into the paint.
You almost never see James get into these kind of positions.
Check it out:
Or check out another angle:
Of course James had made Harden look pretty silly earlier in the game as well, dribbling the ball through his legs. So this could be some kind of revenge and retribution for that.
Either way, this game has a playoff feel despite being six weeks away from the end of the season.
