James Harden draws a laughable foul by jumping on Jrue Holiday's back
Houston Rockets guard James Harden has led the NBA in free-throw attempts in three of the last four seasons (including this one). He lives there. It's where he eats his meals and takes his naps.
To take advantage of one of basketball's most efficient shots, however, the four-time All-Star needs to make his case to the referees to get to the line whenever he can. Though Harden might've gotten a little too creative when Houston took on the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday night:
Could this be the worst call ever? Keep in mind, they called the foul on Jrue Holiday... https://t.co/jiB3ztuD0K

Basically, Harden ducked into the paint to post up the (slightly) smaller Jrue Holiday, but New Orleans' point guard defended by fronting the entry pass and successfully fighting for position.
Harden's response? He jumps on the dude's back and draws the foul:
It's masterful work by Harden. It's also one of the worst calls ever.
