          LeBron James had some free throws to forget late in the Cleveland Cavaliers' overtime loss Sunday to the Houston Rockets.

          James Harden, meanwhile, continued his impressive season, outplaying King James (33 points on 18 shots vs. 37 points on 35 shots) and continuing to stake his claim for NBA MVP.

          So ...

          Rockets fired! But is this trolling ... or truth?

          It very well could be the latter; Harden is outpacing James in scoring, player efficiency rating, real plus-minus and win shares this season.

          Still, for all his better play this season, he can't match LeBron's MVPs (four) or rings (two).
