Sen. Ted Cruz shared his endorsement of James Harden's historic, $228 million contract extension with the Houston Rockets this past weekend, with one caveat.
"I think Harden is one heck of a ball player. I'm looking forward to Harden and Chris Paul," Cruz said in a video posted by TMZ on Sunday. "I hope we go all the way. It's going to take something to beat Golden State. They're one heck of a team. If we get a ring, it was (worth it)."
