As Houston Rockets superstar James Harden found himself immersed in scrutiny on Thursday night, does he deserve a pass?
The Houston Rockets entered Thursday with excitement, as franchise cornerstone James Harden made his debut, participating in his first practice with the team. Harden appeared to be in great conditioning and drew praise from Ben McLemore and Mike D’Antoni afterwards.
But unfortunately for Harden, it didn’t take long for controversy to find him, as Harden was later spotted wearing a Punisher mask that’s been interpreted as a ‘Blue Lives Matter’ mask.
