James Harden’s defense is notorious as being as laughably bad as the worst primetime network sitcom.  Basically, James Harden’s defense is the Cavemen of basketball.  During the FIBA World Cup, which the USA won easily amidst a lot of worrying that they wouldn’t, Harden was able to take his defense to the international stage.

ESPN international basketball analyst extraordinaire Fran Fraschilla didn’t mince words when it came to Harden’s defense on one play during the USA’s semifinal win over Lithuania.

Sports broadcasts would be a lot better around the world with just a little bit of added snark.
