Urged to Follow $435 Million Richer Lionel Messi?s Suit, James Harden?s $435,000,000 Side Faces Inter Miami Test in 109 Year Old Championship

A few hours ago, Inter Miami won against Cincinnati and reached the final of the US Open Cup. It was yet another nail-biter for the fanbase but Lionel Messi and his squad pulled it off in the end. While the Miami-based club almost lost this game, they’re now gearing up to face a team that is associated with NBA star James Harden. In recent times, this NBA veteran and Messi’s name has been used quite a bit in the same news headlines.

Weeks ago, Messi seemingly chose to go with emotional satisfaction over the money aspect of his career. The majority of the soccer fanbase respects the Argentine soccer legend’s decision to move to the US. Mainly because he rejected a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia. James Harden could possibly follow the same trajectory.

Messi’s Inter Miami scraped through to face Harden’s team in their second final

Within the span of a month, Lionel Messi and his team are in another final. Interestingly, before his arrival, nobody in the fanbase would even dream about winning a trophy. Mainly because of their form in the MLS. Currently on a winless streak, the Miami-based club is languishing at the bottom of the table. But the soccer veteran’s arrival has changed quite a lot of things.

All of a sudden, the Herons are playing much better soccer with the World Cup winner at the helm. It took him only seven games to win his piece of silverware in the US. Miami narrowly won the Leagues Cup final against Nashville. Their next final is in the US Open Cup. And that’s against the Houston Dynamo. NBA veteran James Harden has owned a minority stake in the $435 million worth soccer club since 2019.

From facing Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s team in their previous final to James Harden’s team, what a story this is turning out to be! Keeping the soccer aspect aside, the focus has recently been on the $165 million rich athlete’s basketball career. He’s at a tricky crossroad after seemingly getting into a rift with a prominent figure from the 76ers. He’s believed to take the ‘Lionel Messi’ route in the basketball universe. Let’s dive deeper.

How has Lionel Messi joining Inter Miami been an influence on Harden’s career?

Harden’s future has been up in the air for quite some time now. His comments about Daryl Morey from the 76ers have raised the tensions further. He said, “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he?s a part of”.?His trade move to the LA Lakers also seems ‘off’ at the moment. An NBA analyst then attempted to bring things into perspective and draw a parallel with Messi’s career.

Lionel Messi chose ’emotional satisfaction’ over money. That would be the only explanation for why he chose Inter Miami over Al Hilal. Analyst McIntyre quotes, “Harden, I?ve been saying for months, that?s where he would love to go. So, where does James Harden feel love? ? And the answer is?China. Sometimes, you gotta feel the love, man”.?While it’s still a possibility it could turn into reality very soon.
