    This sounds like Hakeem's tutelage coming out.

    Great. So he’s going to get called for traveling all the time despite not actually traveling? I can’t wait.

    media spin: it doesn't look like a travel, but harden travels every time, all the time.

    harden too fat to jump that far doe. maybe russ could, but he'd be so intense that he'll prolly throw it hard at the top of the board.

    maybe this year the anthony will come up with some creative coaching and call timeouts, but it's not.

    With players in front of you all the time, best bet is on fast break to achieve layup.

    Adding a consistent spin move into his bag of recipes will definitely look like Harden is "traveling." Harden would be "breaking" the rulebook once again.
    [​IMG]

    *Harden has been practicing a spin move into a jumper. If Harden keeps only one hand on the ball, his dribble is still live and will be on the Zero Step.

    Zero step: End of Driving Spin Move
    1st step: Euro Step
    2nd step: Euro Step Layup, Floater
    [​IMG]
    *Standard Harden Eurostep after a driving spin move

    Zero step: End of Driving (Spin) Move
    1st step: Euro Step
    2nd step: (Spin) Midrange Fadeaway
    *Unreal move. 2nd step gives option to spin again for more separation if necessary.

    Zero step: End of Spin Move
    1st step: Skip Stepback or Sidestep
    2nd step: Jumper

    *Not a new combo move, but should use it more in the post and drives.

    Harden should definitely do more stepback and sidestep 2s like CJ McCollum to keep the defense on their heels.

    Zero Step: Driving to basket
    1st Step: Stepback or Sidestep
    2nd Step: Midrange Fadeaway or Jumper

    *Harden should be able to easily integrate his stepback variations into more 2s instead of just 3s.

    This makes the guessing game for the defender of what Harden is going to do that much more unpredictable.
