The Houston Rockets defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-103 in a high octane overtime finish on Sunday. James Harden put up 33 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the feat as well as a kick to the groin of LeBron James. The Rockets decided to deliver another kick to LeBron following the game and did it on Twitter.
Everyone knows that LeBron James’ nickname is King James, well according to Rockets Twitter, he’s been dethroned. The Rockets usually deliver snarky remarks on Twitter after a win but this one really got people riled up as they dubbed James Harden the “new king”.
Harden and the Rockets got the win despite 37 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists from LeBron but he obviously has quite a way to go before he can officially dethrone King James; winning the MVP this year (which he’s the frontrunner for) is a start.
