VIDEO: Harden plays defense, Howard finishes play with spinning hook

James Harden is a wizard on the offensive end.

His defensive game, however, has left much to be desired for Houston Rockets fans and hoop heads worldwide.

During Friday's match against the Cleveland Cavaliers, "The Beard" sneakily got in the passing lane, and pried the ball loose from LeBron James' grasp.

Dwight Howard eventually came up with the errant rock and employed a fancy spin move, freeing the big man up for a right-handed hook shot - a crafty maneuver that would certainly make Hakeem Olajuwon proud.
