James Harden stood alone in the corner with the ball. He was so far removed from any Shanghai Sharks defender that Rico Rodriguez – Manny on "Modern Family" – who had been sitting in the neighborhood, would have had a better chance to contest Harden's shot had he too not called it a night early than any of the honored guests on Yao Ming's China Basketball Association team.
Harden, took a dribble and looked around, then brought the ball up to shoot before instead firing a pass to Trevor Ariza on the wing.
Harden's shot was easier.
