Facing the camera, Harden looked tense and awkward.
"I wasn't thinking about a basketball-related challenge at the time. I was really just focused on finding someone with the last name Williams as fast as possible. Maybe the weather affected my judgment, and besides, as you saw, there was hardly anyone on the streets."
"And I didn't expect her last name to actually be Williams. She even showed me her ID."
"I was so excited, and she didn't ask what the challenge was, so..."
Harden stammered, trying to find a reasonable explanation for his actions.
The executive director next to the camera asked a question: "So, how do you think Kevin felt when he saw the teammate you picked for him? For example, this expression—what do you think it means?"
He gestured in the air. In post-production, they would probably insert an image of Durant's face there.
The corner of Harden's eye twitched violently.
'What expression? Probably the one that said he wanted to kill me.'
