Howard calls Harden best lefty to ever play, then walks it back
It's pretty obvious that Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard thinks very highly of his teammate James Harden's abilities, but he took it to a whole different level with a recent tweet about Harden being the best left-handed player ever.
Howard's tweet was met with a lot of criticism, and some justified calls about Bill Russell being snubbed. But Howard stuck to his guns, at least at first.
@JMKaram I know who they are. But that's my opinion. I'm entitled to it.

That didn't last long, though. When Howard was further questioned about calling Harden the best lefty ever, he walked it back a bit and put on a qualifier he clearly failed to include initially.
So Howard either thinks Harden is the best lefty ever, or the best lefty shooter ever. It's hard to tell for sure.
