``` That gap can't be explained solely through Harden's unprecedented prowess on unassisted 3s and how much it frightens defenders. It's about antics, man ...

When we look at the league's most voluminous 3-point shooters over the past three seasons, we see Harden's foul rate is more than twice as high as any of the league's other top marksmen. ```

It's a little odd that Goldsberry recognizes that Harden's 3pt attempts might be different than most 3pt attempts but then only compares his foul rates to other people taking threes.

The style of shot (catch/shoot, unassisted, etc) is much more important for fouls than the type (2pt/3pt). If Harden gets a lot more fouls when shooting unassisted jumpers, including 3 pointers, than everyone else shooting unassisted jump shots then maybe it's antics. Otherwise, comparing fouls on Harden's 3 pointers to fouls on Khris Middleton's 3 pointers is like comparing fouls on Rip Hamilton's 2 pointers to Shaq's 2 pointers.

Not a critique, just an observation. This stuff is subtle.

This will just add to the (necessary - don't get me wrong) tax on society that is our legal system. It's pretty obvious what should happen here because, as humans, we understand and allow for the possibilities of mistakes.

Fan Duel should send him some tickets to a game, try to create a positive interaction for him, and let's move on.
