Apparently defense goes a long way... especially in the realm of social media full of trolls.
Harden is the second NBA star to be publicly roasted for his new kicks. Stephen Curry's second Under Armour low-top sneakers were scrutinized by fans and even cagers for looking like something an old dad would wear to play golf. – Denison Rey A. Dalupang
