The 8 best faces from this amazing photo of James Harden cooking the Thunder

Houston won Game 1, and this photo of James Harden celebrating is the best photo coming from it.

Sometimes, sports present us with a perfect still-life image. Here’s one.

We’re going to break this down and describe how each person is feeling, starting with James Harden.

“DAMN! I AM VERY GOOD AT BASKETBALL”

“Damn. He is very good at basketball.”

“Daaaaaaaaaamn. How’s he so good at basketball?”

“I F$%&ING LOVE BASKETBALL”

“I love basketball but at a much more subdued level than the last guy.”

“I love basketball but I’m also tryin’ to beat the traffic home and you KNOW how downtown Houston gets after a Rockets game is anyone else leaving can I slip out with them so it’s less awkward?”

“Basketball is a fine sport. I am enjoying myself. I am definitely not a robot.”

“I hate basketball.”
