Twitter will never forget Harden crossing Wes Johnson out of his shoes
Oh, poor Wesley Johnson.
Faced with the daunting responsibility of guarding Houston Rockets guard James Harden on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Clippers swingman's night quickly turned into a nightmare when Harden topped off a deadly crossover with a menacing staredown before hitting the 3-pointer, all while Johnson watched helplessly from the floor.

Naturally, Twitter was quick to pile on Johnson for being on the wrong end of the Beard's stunning handles.

JAMES HARDEN WAITED LIKE 10 SECONDS TO SHOOT THE 3 AFTER HE CROSSED HIM. LIKE HE WAS WAITING FOR TOAST TO FINISH

James Harden shaved and grew back in his beard between crossing up Wes Johnson and draining the shot.pic.twitter.com/WFsETzzDQQ

Wes is going to avoid eye contact with Harden like a dog that peed in the house.

James Harden crossed up Wes Johnson, logged on to Twitter to quote RT the Vine with a ghost emoji, then hit a 3.

That play by Harden triggered a release clause in Wesley Johnson's contract and now LAC doesn't have to pay him next season

The only way James Harden's move on Wes Johnson could've been more disrespectful. pic.twitter.com/qxKwVUqk5r
