Rockets’ James Harden strangely facing criticism for Giannis clap-back

The bizarre one-sided beef between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Houston Rockets star James Harden got alot more interesting on Friday morning. Harden finally acknowledged Giannis’s jabs and issued a subtle-yet-legendary clap back of his own.

This was bound to happen and was essentially the only course of action for Harden to take. Giannis had been poking the bear and throwing shots at James to the point where it became disrespectful, so everyone would surely understand if/when Harden decided to respond, right?

Wrong. It’s been quite surprising but Harden has actually been facing criticism for simply responding to slugs being thrown his way, because any logical person would do the exact same thing.
