When Harden jerks his head back out of nowhere to make it look like he gets hit by a semi truck every time he drives. Its an offensive flop.
Isiah Thomas is the runner up to Harden for this and Kyle Lowry coming in 3rd. All three of them seek contact just to flail their arms and heads everywhere so they go to the FT line. Its just a big of disgrace as the Hack a Player move at the end of games.
What Harden, Isiah and Lowry all do is not basketball. Its finding a loophole in the system (just like Hack a Player) and exploiting it. Frankly it ruins the integrity of the game when 40-50% of the shots James Harden takes are not actual shots, but trying to dive and throw his head and arms everywhere to try to go to the line. Its a joke to the game.
