James Harden made a surprise appearance at a youth basketball camp today, showing up at the Sports Zone to win a game of knockout and offer some pointers to the enthusiastic campers, reports KHOU.
He also spoke to the media for a few and offered up this tasty tidbit, saying he’s currently spending his offseason working out with his teammates offsite for the first time since he’s been in Houston.
Think about that for a second. I’ve been an ardent defender of James Harden’s this season, dubbing him one of the most underrated players in the NBA back in April, coming to his defense again when he was left off of each and every All-NBA team this past year and making sure to point out that it was, in fact, Dwight Howard, not Harden, who bore the most responsibility for the Rockets’ locker room issues.
