If there is one who is ready to resume the season in cannonball, it is James Harden. We’re not going to lie, the star of the Houston Rockets was one of the players for whom we could worry a little about a drastic drop in physical condition. The 2017 MVP has sometimes tended to be a few pounds overweight during the off-season and has never been the most fit player in the entire league.
This suspension of the 2019-2020 season did not serve as an excuse to hang out on his sofa while drinking. As recent snapshots posted on Instagram show, James Harden has slimmed down and the work he did in Phoenix – not far from the campus where he completed his college education – seems to have paid off.

It can always be a photoshop montage, but we don’t really believe it. James Harden seems to want to show everyone that he will arrive very sharp at Disneyworld for the more than likely resumption of the season at the end of July.
Before the suspension of the 2019-2020 season, the Houston Rockets were 6th in the Western Conference, with a record identical to that of Oklahoma City, the former team of the “Bearded One”, with 40 victories and 24 defeats. James Harden was 34.4 points, 7.4 assists and 6.4 rebounds on average.
