James Harden teamed up with AND1 legend The Professor to learn an absurd new move

James Harden perfected the one of the more devastating moves in all of basketball with his signature step-back (that sure looks like a travel). But don’t think that the MVP is fine with that single move — not at all.

Harden enlisted help from the internet’s top viral hoopers in hopes of learning a new move to test out on NBA opponents. YouTube star Tristan Jass (known for crazy layups and crossing up a teacher), streetball star Bone Collector and AND1 Mixtape legend The Professor all flew to Houston for a session with Harden.

That was where The Professor taught Harden a ridiculous behind-the-back nutmeg that could very well make an appearance in a game.

The Professor walked Harden through the move with Bone Collector defending.

After a couple tries, Harden successfully pulled the dribble combination off. In case you needed any indication as to how good NBA players are, all it took was a couple tips and Harden had the complicated dribble move down pat.

Just ignore the likely blown layup.

If Harden could find a way to bring that move into an actual game, NBA Twitter would just about explode.
