Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Baby may not be the most vocal on social media, but that hasn’t stopped him from having quite an active social life. Whether he’s rubbing shoulders with television and movie stars on the set of Saturday Night Live or blowing nearly $600k gambling with fellow musician Drake, the “Forever” rapper seems like the life of the party. Baby’s friend, NBA basketball player James Harden, is another high-profile figure with an alluring cloud of mystique surrounding him.

While out celebrating his performance at this year’s Grammy Awards with friends at Nightingale in West Hollywood, TMZ caught up with the musician to ask him about his famous friendship with Harden. When asked about how the pair became so close, the answer had nothing to do with their love of sports or music.

The Atlanta native replied, “He’s a sniper. I’m a sniper.” That may sound as if it is related to their professional endeavors, but in fact, it is a metaphor for their love of the ladies. Lil Baby and Harden have been linked to several women in the industry and have bounded over that shared interest.

When they aren’t chasing the ladies, the pair are often spotted out at major events. The latest is the NFL Conference Championship matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadephia Eagles.

James Harden Reacts To All-Star Snub

by

James Harden was one of the best scorers in the entire NBA just a few seasons ago. Overall, he was a tour de force with the Houston Rockets. However, since joining the Nets and then the Sixers, he has taken more of a facilitator role. Regardless, he is still an incredibly effective player who is helping the 76ers achieve their goals. As it stands, he averages 21.4 points per game and averages another 11 assists, which leads the entire NBA. Needless to say, one would assume that he would be a lock for another All-Star game.

Harden has made the All-Star game in 10-straight seasons. Although, that streak is officially coming to an end as the All-Star reserves were announced on Thursday night. In the Eastern Conference, the reserves are Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Bam Adebayo, Julius Randle, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, and Tyrese Haliburton. Fans immediately noticed that Harden wasn’t present. Subsequently, this led to a ton of discourse on Twitter, with many fans showcasing their discontent.

James Harden Is Not Happy

Additionally, Harden’s fans weren’t the only ones who were upset. Harden himself wasn’t too impressed with the snub. In the tweet above, you can see an Instagram story from Harden in which he states “The disrespect.” Of course, he wasn’t addressing this towards anyone in particular. However, it is extremely clear that he was talking about this bizarre All-Star snub. Were it not for Harden, Joel Embiid would have to carry the Sixers by himself, which is no easy task. Instead, Harden has helped turn this team into a dark horse playoff contender. Should the Celtics and Bucks slip up, the Sixers are right there to snatch the East crown.

Beyond the All-Star game, Harden and the Sixers have much bigger fish to fry. Overall, this team has not gotten past the second round in quite some time. That said, pundits are placing big expectations on this team. Harden has plenty of playoff demons to expel, and if he can lead this team to an NBA Finals, then perhaps voters will have no choice but to make him an All-Star again, in 2024. Let us know what you think of this snub, in the comments below.

James Harden Poses With Lil Baby, Meek Mill, & Kevin Hart As His 49ers Get Blown Out

by

James Harden has completely embraced Philadelphia ever since joining the 76ers. Overall, Harden has been great with the team, and as it stands, they are on a nice little run. Having said that, there are a lot of fans out there who would like to see him with the team for a long time.

Of course, as a resident of Philly, Harden has found himself in the middle of the NFL playoffs. However, he isn’t exactly too happy with the results. For instance, he was at the Eagles match yesterday which just so happened to be the NFC title game. Unfortunately for Harden, they were playing his 49ers.

James Harden Steps Out

Harden is a huge 49ers fan, and he ended up watching his team fail in epic fashion. The Eagles smacked the 49ers 31-7, and consequently, they are off to the Super Bowl. Overall, it is a huge disappointment for Harden, who took to social media, saying “can’t believe my 9ers lost, we outside though.”

In the image below, you can see that Harden was surrounded by some famous people. Lil Baby, Meek Mill are both in the photo. Additionally, some of Harden’s Sixers teammates are as well. This includes Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid, and PJ Tucker. Furthermore, Kevin Hart was also there.

For guys like Embiid and Hart, the Eagles win was the best outcome possible. They are off to the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it is sure to be a phenomenal game. Only time will tell whether or not they can finish this season with the ultimate prize.

James Harden Responds To Rumors Of Returning To The Rockets

by

James Harden was upset with reporters on Sunday when asked whether it’s true that he’s interested in returning to the Houston Rockets. Harden remarked that he won’t address the rumors on Christmas.

“Why would you ask me about that on Christmas, man?” Harden said according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. “You didn’t say Merry Christmas or nothing. You asked me about something that I ain’t even … I’m not answering. I didn’t see nothing.”

When pressed for an answer, Harden reiterated: ”I’m not talking right now before the game.”

Rumors of Harden’s interest in reuniting with the Rockets gained steam due to a new report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The veteran NBA reporter wrote: “Harden and his inner circle have been openly weighing Houston in recent months, sources said, a remarkable possibility given that he requested and received a trade out of the franchise less than two years ago.”

In the two years since leaving Houston, Harden has played for the Brooklyn Nets and Philidelphia 76ers. He’s seen minimal postseason success with both franchises.

After joining the 76ers, Harden inked a two-year, $68.6 million contract. However, the deal includes a player option for 2023-24, which would allow him to opt for free agency in the coming offseason.

James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers are currently 20-12 and ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference standings.

On Sunday, he helped lead the team to a 119-112 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. He finished the night with 29 points and 13 assists.

James Harden Reportedly Eyeing Return To The Houston Rockets

by

James Harden is certainly no stranger when it comes to being entangled in NBA rumors. Since joining the league as a rookie in 2009, he’s played for four different teams.

A shocking report on Monday (December 25) reveals that he could be wanting to play for one of his old squads again.

According to ESPN Senior NBA Insider, Adrian Wojnarowski, the current 76ers shooting guard might be eyeing a return to the Houston Rockets. However, this would only be if he enters free agency this summer.

His current two-year contract with the Sixers contains a player option for the 2023-24 season. If he chooses to take it, he will subsequently become a free agent.

The interesting part is that his present stint with Philadelphia began just shy of two years ago, shortly after he requested a trade out of Houston. The Rockets traded him to the Brooklyn Nets in a four-player deal in January, 2021. It reunited him with his former OKC teammate, Kevin Durant. Only a month later though, the world was witness to the Sixers and Nets swapping superstars Harden and Ben Simmons in a blockbuster trade.

Regardless of the new development, the 33-year-old was certainly gelling with his current team on Sunday (December 25). He put up 29 points and 13 assists in Philadelphia’s 119-112 win over the New York Knicks. The game served as the league’s first of five Christmas Day match-ups.

Furthermore, the All-Star guard seems to not be paying the reports too much attention. “I’m here. We are playing very well and I don’t know where the report came from, but I’m very excited to be here. We are playing well, and we’re continuing to get getter,” he told reporters following the win.

It will certainly be interesting to see how all of this unfolds during the off-season. For now, Philadelphia is enjoying an eight-game winning streak.

Could you see Harden back in a Rockets jersey? If so, who do you think they’d have to give up in a trade to get him? Sound off in the comments down below. Finally, make sure to check out our newest holiday-themed playlist here.

James Harden Gets Brutally Honest About His Time With The Nets

by

James Harden had a brief tenure with the Brooklyn Nets. While paired with the likes of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, the Nets were expected to do big things. In the end, however, they fizzled out as Harden requested a trade. Eventually, he was moved for Ben Simmons, who is still trying to get into a rhythm.

Overall, the Nets’ big three turned out to be extremely dysfunctional. There were rumors that Harden and Kyrie could not get along. Additionally, the team just wasn’t going anywhere in terms of the playoffs. Needless to say, both sides needed a change.

James Harden Speaks

Recently, Harden spoke to Fox Sports’ Yaron Weitzman about his time with the Nets’ organization. As you will read, he was quite honest about how the team had no structure. Additionally, he felt like Kevin Durant’s trade request was all he needed to know about what was going on.

“I don’t mean to, like, just down talk to anybody or whatever,” Harden said. “It was just, there was no structure and even superstars, they need structure. That’s what allows us to be the best players and leaders for our respective organizations.”

“I just feel like, internally, things weren’t what I expected when I was trying to get traded there,” he added. “I think everybody knows that. And I knew people were going to talk and say, ‘You quit’ and all that stuff, but then the following summer, the other superstar there [Durant] wanted to leave. So it’s like: Am I still the quitter?”

Now, Harden is on the Sixers who have a lot of pressure to win. They have yet to make it past the second round with Joel Embiid on the roster, and there is a win-now mentality going around.

Whether or not Harden can get that first championship, still remains to be seen.

EST Gee And Future Party With Their Rap Peers And James Harden In The Luxurious ‘Shoot It Myself’ Video

by

Though the content of EST Gee and Future’s new record “Shoot It Myself” is very “opp”-focused, they don’t have a care in the world in the record’s accompanying visual. Whether they are in the midst of beautiful women twerking, rapping on a basketball court, or attending an all-white party flanked by NBA superstar James Harden, Lil Durk, Travis Scott, Doe Boy, and other rappers, the duo has a grand time.

“Shoot It Myself” marks the fourth collaboration between Gee and Hendrix. They began with the “Lick Back Remix” also featuring Young Thug from EST Gee’s Bigger Than Life Or Death, and then doubled up on the Bigger deluxe version with “Dead Wrong.” EST Gee later joined Future on “Chickens” from Future’s latest album I Never Liked You.

Both have had active years, as EST Gee partnered with his CMG The Label peer 42 Dugg for the collaborative project Last Ones Left and later contributed several verses to CMG’s full label compilation Gangsta Art. Future reached a major milestone this year following I Never Liked You as he became one of the top-achieving RIAA artists with over 95 million units sold and certified Gold, Platinum, or higher.

Check out EST Gee and Future’s celebratory new video “Shoot It Myself” above.
