Amid Trouble in Paradise for the 76ers, James Harden Shouts Out Atlanta’s Special Talent Publicly

One NBA star who got it all wrong in the 2023 off-season is James Harden. After the Philadelphia 76ers suffered a disappointing loss in the playoffs, he immediately hinted at a trade-out. However, he hasn’t landed any contract so far. Instead, the superstar faced a lot of backlash throughout the off-season. Notably, the league slapped a hefty fine on him for taking a dig at his own team’s official. Amid all this trade drama, the Beard gave a public shout-out to an upcoming artist.

The Philly superstar has always had a strong connection with music and musicians. In fact he produced his own song titled Harden Soul. Apart from that he also has a lot of friends from the American rap industry. Notably, he has a strong connection with Lil Durk, Meek Mill, and Lil Baby. Moreover, in addition to his rapper buddies, he looks to add a rising star.
