James Harden pulls off the most disrespectful shot
Houston Rockets star James Harden was on top of social media trends on Wednesday (Thursday PHL time) thanks to a crazy play against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Perhaps the NBA's frontrunner for MVP, Harden crossed up defender Wesley Johnson, who ended up hitting the floor.

Instead of shooting though, Harden waited for Johnson to get up and help defender Milos Teodosic to run over before swishing the shot.
Johnson seemed to have a healthy reaction, just smiling after the play.
The highlight quickly became fodder for hilarious memes online.
