James Harden Emphatic Block on Donovan Mitchell! Hakeem Olajuwon Approves!

Hakeem was plenty fond of catapulting opponents' shots into the stands.

McHale is giving Dream some shine... all good with me.

 

Especially in his younger days he did love to play volleyball with those shots. He got smarter.

 

This style, what Harden does, is manipulating the game somehow. Almost like cheating it somehow.

 

And I dont have any thought behind that.

 

Props man.

You almost got me on this one.
