James Harden es una ‘estrella’ como lo define la NBA por jugar en un All-Star reciente.
Si esta ileso, tiene que jugar hoy vs @Bucks o la NBA multa a @Sixers. (1/2)

With two more teams yet to debut (76ers at Milwaukee)
The only teams to have double digit dunks in their season opener were the Hawks (10) and the Clippers (15)
The Clippers averaged 4.8 dunks per game last season. They cleared that bar in six minutes last night. – 3:50 PM
