James Harden is still not necessarily saying he in fact did punch a Lakers fan back in November, but IF he did it was in self defense. That is according to a counter-suit he filed against the fan after the fan filed a lawsuit against the bearded star. The fan is claiming Harden punched him after he yelled “Kobe owns your ass”. Harden’s version of the story goes he believed the guy posed a threat to him and the people he was with at that moment. He is looking for a judge to dismiss the case immediately and force the fan to pay for his legal fees. There will still be some time before this is settled.
