Bucks vs. Rockets was the best game in the NBA on Wednesday night. It also gave us this.
Giannis Antetokounmpo rocketed a basketball right into James Harden’s face
“S--- hurt!” — James Harden
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Now look, I’m sure there’s a Bucks player waiting in the corner that Giannis was trying to hit — but from this clip it looks like he just aims for Harden’s face and lets it fly. This was like a dodgeball throw, and Harden is 100 percent out.
After the game Harden was asked about getting hit in the face by a basketball traveling at a high rate of speed and his answer was identical to any we would give.
“Hell no I didn’t see it coming. Shit hurt!”
Simply beautiful.
