James Harden took a nasty shot to the dome from Draymond Green in Game 2 that caused him to miss about a quarter of action with an eye injury and also put him as the butt of a new internet meme, boos from the Golden State crowd, and even some criticism from the Twitterverse that he was somehow faking. Seriously, I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I can’t recall this happening to any other star player after suffering a legitimate injury.
Draymond Green, to his credit, walked up and apologized to Harden after the play.
