Houston Rockets: James Harden’s JHtown Weekend Recap

The Beard hosted the first annual JHtown weekend over the past few days.

During JHtown Weekend, held primarily at Rice University, there were several exhibition games of basketball going on. It all led to the final game, where many NBA players and stars showed up in support of James Harden.

Harden himself played in the game and also donated $100,000 for scholarships at Texas Southern. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner also declared the 20th of August “James Harden Day.”

The list of celebrities and NBA players that attended is impressive. It includes the likes of John Wall, Chris Paul, Meek Mill and more. The two teams were led by Harden and Wall, with the Beard and his squad coming out victorious.

Harden’s team included quite a few Rockets players, including two former Rockets. Take a look at the squad:

We could definitely get used to seeing that from the Rockets this season. The ability to have two All-Star playmakers on the court at the same will do wonders for the offense. Also, Clint Capela looks much improved and stronger.

Next, we’ll look at just Clint and Paul:

This play looks like something that James Harden pulled off several times last season. CP3 and Clint look poised to make a great duo on the team next year.

Here’s another interesting play:

Did Chris Paul just…? Yes, yes he did.

He also locked up John Wall at the end of the game to secure the win for Team “Big Tony.”
