Bill Simmons is going to learn today.
James Harden returned to Oklahoma City Sunday to face off against his old team, and for the first time since leaving for the Rockets, Harden now has the juice.
The Rockets are roaring towards the playoffs — Houston has the second-best record in the West and Harden may win MVP.
Before the game, ESPN’s Bill Simmons tweeted a series of thoughts about the deal in response to an article published in The Oklahoman.
