It’s your boy James Harden!
The Houston Rockets baller is bringing is bold personality and fashion flare to the cover of GQ magazine, accompanied with a colorful spread. You see, James loves to stand out of the crowd. In one of the shots for his spread, he rocks a pair of pink sequined Comme des Garçons Homme Plus basketball shorts. Yes, very extra.
"Pink glitter shorts,” he said. "You're judging me already. I can see it in your face." He loves this, loves these reactions, loves being weird. "That's one of those outfits where, you know, it'll go on Instagram and guys will be like, 'What the heck is he wearing?' Most guys wouldn't do that. Most guys don't want that attention."
It’s clear why he’s called the Beard Gang Leader. GQ even dubbed him as the Migos of the NBA with his infectious, yet chill personality. Being the Beard Gang Leader comes with a struggle. James said he hates eating around people he doesn’t know, especially on blind dates, because he doesn’t want to get food stuck in his beard. It happens all the time!
"I get food in this shit all the time," he shared."Like, all the time. If it's people that I don't know, I won't eat around 'em. When I'm, like, going on blind dates, I'll wait till I get around people I actually am comfortable around, because then they'll tell me I have stuff in my beard. It kinda comes with it. If you wanna look as good as I do."
Ha.
The NBA baller shared some inside information about the YBF moms of the NBA. Several of the moms get together for “meetings” to chat about their sons.
Harden takes evident pride that his career has enabled his mother, Monja Willis, to have an NBA life of her own. Willis is one of a bumper crop of delightful NBA moms, led by Draymond Green's mom, Mary Babers-Green, and Kevin Durant's "real MVP," Wanda. They are funny, salty, ferociously protective of their sons, and living their best lives on Instagram. "My mom—she hangs out with, like, moms of other players that I don't even talk to," Harden said, amused. How does that happen?
"There are mom meetings, things like that."
You're joking, right?
"No, I'm serious. Mom meetings. That makes me happy, 'cause they get to talk about their sons behind our backs. She deserves that."
Yes to the NBA moms!
