The Most Disrespectful Cross Over in History?

Last night the Houston Rockets played the Los Angeles Clippers, and if you didn't watch it, something amazing happened between James Harden and Wesley Johnson.  With about 1:24 left on the clock in the first quarter, James Harden brought the ball up the court and proceeded to put Wesley Johnson on skates on an isolation play.  What makes the the play so amazing is the how Harden disrespected Wesley Johnson before knocking down a step back three. Take a look:
James Harden might have performed the most disrespectful stare down in NBA history.  There have  been plenty of disrespectful acts over the course of NBA history.  One that comes to mind to almost everyone is the Iverson step over on Tyronn Lue in the 2001 NBA Finals.  I think the James Harden stare at Wesley Johnson will go down as one of the most disrespectful moments in NBA history.  I've never seen a player stare down another player that they just crossed-over before taking the shot AND making it.  Usually it's after they make the shot, which is why it was amazing and crazy to see.  The crowd reaction makes it more amazing especially since the Clippers were playing at home. I didn't watch the game, but I saw the highlight on twitter where EVERYONE was talking about it. Here's Harden's reaction too play after the game:
