Per NBA TV (via The Score), "I don't even know why I'm gonna say this, but I'm gonna basically give out my secret," he told NBA TV after Saturday's win over the Detroit Pistons.
"One of the main things about me just talking trash to all those guys is, when I go on social media I know that they're gonna be mad. And the next time they're gonna be excited to play against me, so they're gonna be extra aggressive.
"I know that if you're being extra aggressive, you can call me the James Harden of the bigs. I know I can draw fouls. They're gonna be extra aggressive and I've gonna use that to my advantage because they're so excited to play against me."
