VIDEO: James Harden continues to ignore defense
Brad Penner / USA TODAY Sports
Houston Rockets guard James Harden is an undeniable offensive force, a truly elite scorer capable of putting up big numbers in a hurry when the ball is put in his hands.
However, on the other side of the ball, Harden famously struggles with lapses of focus on the defensive end.
On Sunday, in Team USA's win over Turkey at the FIBA World Cup, Harden's bad habits reared their ugly heads again. He was caught ball-watching as his man calmly snuck to the corner and knocked down an uncontested three-pointer while Harden stood alone at the top of the key, keeping an eye on nobody in particular.
