The Houston Rockets owner stands up for his player and you know what, he might be 100 percent right!
In James Harden's tenure as a Houston Rocket (sans the Western Conference finals year), defense has always been a question, and rightly so. If you are to have a good team that goes far in the playoffs your best player has to be able to contribute on defense.
It is right to question Harden on defense but he is clearly one of the best offensive players in the NBA. Single-handly he wins games for the Rockets dropping 30-40 plus points at the drop of a hat.
