Houston Rockets guard James HardenĀ is a leading MVP candidate this season, and Tuesday he did an interview with Stephen A. Smith for ESPN’s “First Take,” in which the All-Star guard attempted to add to his assist total with the host’s help.
During the interview, Smith, who played basketball at Winston-Salem State University, tried to show off his 3-point jump shot while Harden fed him the rock, and his jumper seemed to be a bit rusty.
Harden took to Twitter to jab Smith, posting a video of him air balling a jumper, accompanied by a few laughing emojis and a short message.

The Rockets guard, who is averaging 29.1 points and 11.3 assists per contest, then backtracked in the name of Valentine’s Day.
Please people, it's Valentines Day show @stephenasmith some love today. Lol

In all seriousness, I had a great time shooting around with @stephenasmith. Good convo, good vibes.

We sure hope Smith’s jump shot didn’t look like that at Winston-Salem State.
