On August 29th Beijing time, Clippers star James Harden shared photos from his birthday party to celebrate turning 36. Harden said, "Waking up on my birthday, I felt like a legend! Thanks for all the love and well wishes. Much appreciated."
At his birthday party, Harden opted for a laid-back look: a sleeveless black fashion T-shirt on top, denim capri pants below, paired with pink-toned sneakers. He also accessorized with a necklace and bracelets, giving off a very stylish vibe.
Around Harden were several longtime friends who almost always come to celebrate his birthday each year. Many on social media also liked the post, including his new Clippers teammates Paul and Beal, who sent their birthday wishes.
Another photo on social media showed Harden pulling out large stacks of cash, prompting fans to joke that the Beard is definitely not short on money. At the end of June this year, Harden signed a two-year, $81.5 million contract with the Clippers, with a player option for the second year. By the end of last season, Harden’s career earnings had surpassed $374 million.
Last season, Harden teamed up with Leonard on the Clippers, starting in 79 games. He averaged 22.8 points (41% shooting / 35% from three / 87% free throws), 8.7 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 34.8 minutes per game, helping lead the Clippers to a 50-32 record and fifth place in the Western Conference.
