TNT has put together some very interesting commercials to promote the quest to the NBA title, but the newest one featuring James Harden and Dwight Howard takes the cake. (HT: Rockets Design)
James Harden has icicles dangling off his beard in new TNT commercial

— Rockets Design (@geraldyu14) November 6, 2015 There’s so many questions here:
1. Why are there icicles developing on James Harden's beard?
Either James Harden is sweating through his beard? (gross) or he’s got the sniffles (very gross).
2. Why is James Harden wearing mittens?
We’re not here to criticize mittens, but they seem like a suboptimal choice when you’re climbing a mountain.
UPDATE: I’m an idiot! Mittens are a great choice for climbing a mountain:
@SBNation Actually, as a mountain rescue volunteer, I can state affirmatively that mittens are standard in mountaineering.

So that’s normal, but this still gets a lot weirder.
Is this National Treasure 3? Is James Harden the new Nicholas Cage? If so, I want to watch this in IMAX.
4. What is D.L. Hughley doing here?
Honest question. He’s a fine comedian, but not the guy I want for a mountain expedition.
5. Why are Harden and Howard trying to carry a rocket up a mountain?
Are they Bond villains now? Are they trying to blow up the giant Larry O'Brien trophy? Is this how they plan on stopping Stephen Curry? Has this been Daryl Morey's secret plan all along? Whatever it is, it's clear they're up to no good, and I can't trust them anymore.
