Houston Rockets point guard James Harden praised a young fan’s impression of him after he mimicked the NBA star’s famous post-game side-eye interview.
Harden gave courtside reporter Matt Bullard a now classic look at the end of an interview when asked about his rhythm against the Los Angeles Clippers two years ago.

And a young fan replicated the moment while dressed up like 28-year-old Harden, wearing a fake beard and Rockets strip.
Harden himself was impressed, and declared that Austin had “Nailed it”.
