Social Media Reacts to James Harden's Crossover on Wes Johnson
By: Karin Brown
The Houston Rockets took on the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center on Wednesday.
A little over a minute before the end of the first quarter, James Harden made a crossover that would be the talk of the entire game.
From just outside the three-point line, Harden did a left-to-right crossover, and then hopped back - breaking Wesley Johnson's ankles and leaving him on the floor.
Harden then takes a pause, slightly chuckles, and makes a three-point shot that put the Rockets up 31-7.
In true social media fashion, it took no time for the video to circulate and memes to go viral.

According to Harden, he's been "in his bag all year."
