James Harden is one of those players that are becoming to create a vintage image of himself inside the new generation of NBA fans around the world. He was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft, selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he spent four seasons. He was coming out of Arizona State and since then he has been a great player and specially a very disciplined.

James Harden sneaks into group of kids and make them think

Without a doubt he is a star with plenty of credentials to give an advice to future generations who dream to be in the NBA. Many of those future basketball players do not have their parents close and they don't hear so often the words of cheer that you need to hear when you are young.

The 35-year-old signed with the Clippers on 2023; prior to wear the LAC jersey he spent nine years with the Houston Rockets (2012 - 2021), then he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets (2021 - 2022), then signed with Philadelphia 76ers (2022 - 2023).

He, as a NBA Most Valuable Player in 2018, is a true inspiration for everyone. A 11 times selected as an NBA All Star back every word he gave to these group of kids without any parent watching out.

The footage came after the Clippers took the win over the Warriors for the final spot in the NBA Playoffs, this mean Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green will play against the controversial Ja Morant and the Grizzlies to seal their spot in the first eight teams.

The encouragment that James harden could generate in the group of kids is just a proof of how athletes can inspire the future generations of any kind of sport. He also was a kid once, and maybe without the watch of their parents also, but how to overcome from that ind of situations is not something that you see and hear everyday from an NBA player.
