He's what the league needs. The micro-flopping and exaggerating of contact in critical game moments has gone on for a long time, but Harden is that dude who had superuser level access to the poker site and didn't know when to stop skinning the sheep. He is going to create rule changes and obsolete his own game. If he did it now and then, he'd do it for an entire career. He does it on every trip though, and it's so painfully obvious that announcers have settled with the notion that it's his "thing", and they lamented about the same thing when Patty did it to them. That's when Doug Collins said it needs to be curtailed, not the 20 times prior while James was doing it. His comment was "there are too many people doing it", as if it's ok that one or two assholes make their living off of it as long as the "sports media" can put them on a pedestal so the ignorant masses can marvel in their brilliance. If everyone does it, it becomes an eye sore and needs to stop. Same with hack-a- got. It's fine when the interesting team does it, but if the Spurs boring ass do it then and only then does it become a problem.
