Gather round everyone,

We may have actually found a player in the NBA that can Guard Theeee James Harden.

Let me introduce you to the Montreal Native, Undrafted Rookie, product of Arizona State, Our Hero: Luguentz Dort.

Get to know this mans name. Remember it. He is the Rookie that can stop Thee Harden.

As I have explained in a previous breakdown of James Hardens uncanny ability to draw the foul on the drive (against Larray Nance Jr at the Time) We can call this the second episode of The James Harden vs NBA Defenders Saga.

Dort is able to SCHOOL Harden at his own Game. His Matador like dips and ducks allow himself to fool Harden and keep him outside the paint, While his perimeter defense is so good it will inevtiably make Harden wake up at night in COld sweats having had nightmares of Dort covering his eyes.

Come, Lets examine and Document this amazing rookies ability to Stop THe James Harden.

Dort Defensive Play Number 1: The Matador

In this play We have Dort covering Harden at the three point line and Harden wants to drive.



Harden does into his Drive and Dort sticks to him like Glue

This is the magic ELITE moment, Dort drops his shoulder right when Harden goes for the foul. Dort is Able to DOdge the Bull and throw him off. OLE MATADOR!



Harden has to take an off balance runner shot off the Glass now that his Foul isnt coming



Dort like the Beast of a defender he is Blcoks Harden off the glass. Cleaner than Mr Clean.




KEEP YOUR EYES OUT FOR LUGUENTZ DORT HE IS GOING PLACES IN THIS LEAGUE.

Has Harden Found his nemisis??????? Can the Thunder Use Dort to KEep Harden at bay and possibly turn this bitch around?!!?!



Only Time will Tell...

It’s fun to see dort shine on a national stage. Watching him shut down players on defense all season long has been incredible. He still needs to grow on offense, but for how elite and consistent he has been on defense it is amazing to think he went undrafted lol.

Happy the Thunder finally inked him to a team friendly 4 years for $5 million contract. He is a great piece moving forward for the Thunder “rebuild”.
