VIDEO: James Harden is back to being atrocious on defense
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
After a thoroughly embarrassing showing in 2013-14, Houston Rockets superstar James Harden actually made a concerted effort on defense last season, and ranked third in the league in steals.
Any semblance of effort from Harden, however, has evaporated this year. He is back to being a ghost on defense, and his lack of effort is a big reason why Houston's defensive efficiency has dropped to 22nd after ranking sixth last season.
Here's a snippet of Harden's defensive performance Saturday against the New York Knicks:

Way to lead the team by running back to guard your man, James.
