Harden's not a forward. Is ESPN simply incapable of getting anything right that pertains to the Rockets? Apparently.
Hmmm: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hearing that the Harden deal is not actually $200 Million like some reports are saying.

If James Harden eats Taco Bell, I eat Taco Bell. If James Harden loves the Kardashians I love the Kardashians. If James Harden wears Adidas, I wear Adidas. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iAP9AF6DCu4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'll say it again - but this is a great move for Adidas. Harden is one of the more admired players in NBA circles(even if the media hates on him) and having him towing the Adidas line could be a game changer for Adidas if he can bring cred to Adidas shoes in the league. They gotta come out with some killer shoes out of the gate - nothing half assed...
It was reported 13 years, $200M but it appears it's less money, not more. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/kustoo">@kustoo</a> Way off.</p>— Wells P (@Wells_P) <a href="https://twitter.com/Wells_P/status/631874850093555712">August 13, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/RACTVSHIFT">@RACTVSHIFT</a> Agreed.

Its $200 million but its with incentives such as mvp, scoring, allstar game, nba championship. Its kinda a given that he's an allstar, he's going to hit the scoring mark and he won the players association mvp so that's why its assumed $200 million, only thing left is the championship.
The Harden Jenesis, "J's" for short, as the first JH signature release from Adidas. The "J" in Jenesis works with his JH brand too!!! We need a buzzer beater level design!!! I'll be my pair!!!
