James Harden...Why?

Post by Bangkok Wildcat »

The guy is such a tremendous stud.....Could someone please explain the following?:

1. Why the heck did Harden attend ASSU?
2. Who did he choose them over? Did UA have a shot?
3. Why does he wear that ridiculously stupid beard?

Thanks and Bear Down!

As to #1, Herb Sendek hired his high school coach as an assistant coach to get him to go to ASU.

#2 - here's his offer list from Rivals:

COLLEGE CHOICES
School Interest Offer Visit Recruited by
Arizona St. COMMITTED (08/09/2006) Offered None Herb Sendek
Arizona None Offered None
UCLA None Offered None

By far the biggest recruit Asu has ever had. #15 in the 2007 class. Only reason he went to Asu was because of herbs hiring the coach though. If it wasn't for that he probably would've gone to ucla.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.

i'll just go with fuck asu.

Not enough shots with Bayless in the fold. UCLA How about O.J. Mayo to USC. Even more highly regarded at the time.

James Harden is an idiot

James Harden showing his Sun Devil level of intelligence. 200 freaking million dollars and he wears Nikes?

http://www.foxsports.com/nba/story/jame ... act-091615

Houston Rockets star James Harden signed a 13-year contract with Adidas worth $200 million earlier this offseason, but that didn't stop him from wearing Air Jordans in public.

Harden was spotted wearing the Nike brand shoe while coming out of a movie theater with girlfriend Khloe Kardashian, who was wearing an Adidas sweatshirt and sweatpants, according to TMZ.

While Khloe seems to be on board, Adidas North America president Mark King told ESPN.com that Harden will have to stop wearing Air Jordans when his deal officially begins on October 1st:

"Asked whether Harden will have to stop wearing his Air Jordan collection in public when the deal officially commences Oct. 1, Adidas' Mark King said, "That's part of the deal."

"The difference between football and basketball is that a guy like Aaron Rodgers doesn't have a walk-around shoe," King said. "Harden does, and he will be in our lifestyle stuff."

Adidas is paying Harden $200M?

They deserve each other; a match made in heaven.

No, and I doubt you would have an issue with it if he hadn't played for ASU. Adidas paid him $200m to wear Adidas starting on Oct 1. I could care less what he was wearing on his feet early in September. What's the issue?

I hear the circus music starting. Of course he is not contractually bound until the first of October but he had signed the agreement so wearing Nike is just plain stupid after the announcement had been made of his endorsement.

That was his second dumb move though, first one was dating a Kardashian.

I thought you could possess 5-10 grams in F.

I also thought possession without intent was a 200€ fine.
