James Harden, Donovan Mitchell share off court branding experiences despite being fierce competitors

HOUSTON — On the eve of the Houston Rockets’ second regular season contest against the Utah Jazz on Dec. 5, star guards James Harden and Donovan Mitchell met at a private home in Salt Lake City for a commercial shoot.

The TV spot from the BodyArmor campaign would release during NCAA March Madness, but as fellow endorsees of the popular sports drink, it allowed Mitchell to learn how to conduct business off the court from the reigning MVP.

“One thing I’ve watched is the way he’s done the commercials and the deals and balanced it with his schedule as far as games go,” Mitchell said of Harden.
