James Harden hits fading three, J.J. Reddick goes flying (Video)

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden hit a fading three pointer and sent Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard J.J. Reddick flying.

There’s a heavyweight showdown in the Western Conference in Los Angeles on Martin Luther King Day, with the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers facing off in a rematch of their incredible series in the playoffs.

One of those players that stole the show in the playoffs was shooting guard James Harden. On Monday night, Harden was at it again with the insane shots and even caused Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard J.J. Reddick to go flying to the ground as a result.

With time running down on the clock, Harden was fed a pass with his back right up against the Rockets’ bench. Harden falling back hit the fading three, as Reddick’s feet got caught with him and caused Reddick to crash to the ground.

Superstar shooters have the ability to shoot no matter the circumstance and Harden had his back up against the bench with time running down and a guy tripping over him.

It’s an incredible shot and incredibly bad defense on the play. It’s a bit puzzling to try and figure out how Reddick went up for a block only to be on the ground a second later, but low and behold, that’s exactly what happened.
