    Harden is playing 3 people in a game of 'SPRINT' (I'm guessing it's like HORSE except sponsored by SPRINT) at 3PM today. Check out his tweet.

    BTW, is that tweet displaying correctly for everyone? I'm not sure if I'm embedding it right. Here it is in a simple copy/paste just in case...

    James Harden @JHarden13 19m
    It's On! Who's up for a game of SPRINT? I'll play 3 fans at 3 pm at Burnett Bayland Rec Ctr, 6000 Chimney Rock Rd. #SprintHarden Bring it!

    Did anyone make it out to this? In case you missed it, looks like there's 2 more chances to see him.

    I probably was standing near you.

    I was one of the first people there. I knew he would be out there since yesterday but I couldn't put it out there yet.

    I'm upload videos and photos when I get home later. At the mall eating food cause I'm hungry.

    He's going to be at the sprint store signing autographs on beechnut.

    I see how it is Kam. Make sure the word doesn't get it out so you can have more Harden for yourself?

    Okay, let me give you the story. I wish I alerted more people. I didn't know how "secret" this was. The person giving the tip made it out to be bigger than what it really was. Basically, it was some sponsorship deal with Sprint. He was going through out the area, specifically, the southwest area of Houston. You can check my twitter, I had the heads up since yesterday afternoon.

    Basically, some Representative from Sprint was giving raffle tickets, and they would pull out three tickets. Basically, a former (at least I haven't seen him at the section, a brother in law of someone who works at that center, and probably a lawn mower cutter person. They picked someone who got their ticket after me. The brother in law guy got the damn ticket. It could have been me shooting but I don't think I would play because my shooting is horrendous. I took two practice shots while waiting. First one went off the side of the rim, the second hit the side of the square. I haven't picked up a basketball since August 2012. :(

    The first set of shooting was awesome. Everyone made their 3 point shot, including lawn mower man. I was like damn, this might be good. It was going good until NO ONE brought out the creativity. Same ol' spot after same ol' spot. A few of the fans watching it called them out on it, and had James Harden rolling. You're playing freaking HORSE. move around, call your shots, do something spectacular. People got their cameras, and phone going on. We can upload for posterity. If you mess up, great, we all mess up all the time, but if you hit it, you're the man.

    It went a while. I got some decent photos and videos, I'll upload the video maybe. I heard someone mention Clutchfans. One of the younger guys. Which one of you was it. If you didn't know, you were standing next to greatness, a top 100 user. A top 50 user. According to my sources, the Rowdy/ex Rowdy's name is Cliff. Actually, I was familiar with it years back. He won, pretty good shooter.


    And here are the stills from the gym.

    Capri Pants. Terrible.


    They went to the Galleria Footlocker. I would have gone, but I had to go back to downtown, and then I went through Memorial, but drove slowly. MILFS jogging. Got to yield and be nice.
    And then he went to Dave and Busters Richmond. Just check his twitter.

    And then finally Sprint Store on Beechnut. He signed autographs and took photos.


    The end.



    edit, found this one on twitter.

    there was some hunnie in blue taking this photo.
