NBA Fans Troll James Harden Over Video of Clippers Star Trying to Block Kawhi Leonard

James Harden momentarily let his intrusive thoughts win during the Los Angeles Clippers' 116-103 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.

During the third quarter, Harden intentionally closed out on teammate Kawhi Leonard in the corner and attempted to block Leonard's three-point attempt. Fortunately for Los Angeles, the possession still ended in a made bucket after Harden found a wide-open Amir Coffey on the perimeter.

Some fans were left perplexed by what the 10-time All-Star was thinking.

Harden told reporters he was generally trying to lighten the mood in the locker room and give the team something to laugh about.

It's not totally unheard of for Harden to be covertly working as a sleeper agent against his own team; it's just that it's typically reserved for whenever he has requested a trade or in the postseason.
