Harden is one of the first players who engaged in the concept of flopping in the modern NBA. Flopping defensively has always been a part of the NBA. However, flopping offensively is something that Harden introduced to the game according to many. It is not entirely bad, since flopping also requires utmost talent.

Harden used his talent to draw fouls to his advantage. Many times, he tricks the defenders into fouling him. Sometimes, fans have even concluded that he drew most of the contact and jumped into the defenders.
