Houston Rockets guard James Harden is quickly becoming one of the most-potent scorers in NBA history. The dude dropped 36 points in a blowout win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. He’s now scored 30-plus points in a ridiculous 28th consecutive games.
This makes Harden annoying when it comes to his opponents. He’s also known to flop more than any other guard in the Association.
Kings veteran Frank Mason found that out first-hand Wednesday night. Just check out Harden’s reaction after Mason made contact with the MVP favorite’s beard.

That’s about as bad as it gets. Sure Mason fouled Harden. They called it. But the Rockets’ guard acted like he was just hit with a grenade. He then proceeded to throw the ball at Mason.
The Academy Awards are coming up. Maybe Harden can add another award to his resume for acting. Whew.
