The Miz is a heel wherever he goes.
Even away from the squared circle, the former WWE champion is always looking to pick a fight — especially a verbal one — with someone else he deems worthy of being a foe.
And his latest target is Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden.
During Saturday’s Clippers game against the Atlanta Hawks, The Miz took a playful jab at Harden’s postseason performance while promoting RAW’s Netflix debut on Monday at the Clippers’ Intuit Dome.
The Miz was asked about which Clipper would make the best wrestler.
“James Harden, just not in the playoffs. Regular season James Harden is definitely the WWE superstar,” he replied in true Miz fashion.

This comment alludes to the perception that Harden’s performance declines during the playoffs compared to his regular-season achievements, which historically have some statistical merit.
The Miz’s quip was in line with his on-screen persona, known for making provocative statements regarding anyone possible.
The Clippers did soundly beat the Hawks in the game itself, 131-105, recording win No. 20 on the season.
