James Harden tries to block his own teammate Kawhi Leonard's shot
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

No this isn't an Afternoon Delight satire post. This really happened last night. Harden drives, passes to Leonard, and then attempts to block Kawhi.

According to Harden, not known for his defensive prowess, he was just trying to bring excitement to his team.

"I was trying to bring some excitement to this team. I think these last few weeks have been a fog for us. I think every team goes through it. So I think it was just me trying to create energy, create a great vibe for this team. Maybe it would've been better if he had made the shot, but give them something to laugh about, some excitement."

Bizarre to say the least.
