James Harden is one of the NBA’s premier superstars and is a former MVP, but more importantly, he’s also a star off the court.
During his JH Town Weekend of charity event, Harden announced that he would donate over $240k to renovate basketball courts in the city of Houston that were damaged in Hurricane Harvey.
This isn’t the first time that Harden has made a big donation to help underserved communities, as he also donated $1 million in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey made landfall.
Harden told those in attendance that he wanted to renovate outdoor basketball courts because kids should be outside having fun instead of being on social media or playing video games all day, via Ben Dubose of the Rockets Wire.
