James Harden Has a Legitimate Defensive Highlight Reel, Rockets GM Approves

The days of laughing at Houston Rockets star James Harden's defense may be over.

Earlier this year, an 11-minute video of Harden playing poor defense went viral. Nobody will ever question his ability to score, but that video gave fans the ability to get on the Houston guard's case.

A new 10-minute video of Harden's defense has recently surfaced. This time, it actually shows Harden making plays on the defensive end of the court.

Warning: Video contains NSFW language.

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey saw this video and approved of it.

As long as Harden continues to play well on both ends of the court, Houston is going to be tough to beat.
