Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden is seemingly destined to be featured in the latest edition of Shaqtin' A Fool.
During their road game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, March 20, at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, the 34-year-old former league MVP made an unusual move by attempting to block a shot by his teammate Kawhi Leonard.
With a little over four minutes left in the third quarter and the Clippers leading by 21 points (81-60), Harden drove and passed to Leonard in the left corner, where he was wide open.
Despite the good look, the two-time NBA Finals MVP attempted a three-pointer while Harden contested the shot, resulting in a miss.

During a post-game interview, the 2018 NBA Most Valuable Player was asked about the amusing play, and he explained his actions.
"Got to bring some excitement to this team. I think these last few weeks have been a fog for us and I think every team goes through it. So I think it's just me trying to create a great energy, a great vibe," the ten-time NBA All-Star said.
Harden added that it would have been better if Leonard had made the shot, giving the team something to laugh about.
