James Harden is in love with his Rockets team, from the coaches to the teammates, and feels like this year could be the year they make it past the Warriors and defeat whatever weak team the Eastern Conference produces in the Finals. Is it crazy talk, or is it the perfect moment to strike? Can they take down the Golden State super team? Let us know in The Huddle!

Steph Curry is one of the NBA’s most beloved players. Not only is he really good at basketball- but he is also a huge role model to kids everywhere off the court. In a recent interview with ESPN, Curry revealed that he remembered being a kid and some NBA players not treating him nice and it’s THAT feeling which makes him go the extra mile to spend a lot of time with kids who go to see him at games.

If you are heading out to the desert this weekend, consider it a sign you are aligning with the Queen of Tennis, Serena Williams, as she makes her return to the court. Consider it 4 signs, actually. That is exactly how many Billboards her husband, Alexis Ohanian, put up on the I-10 freeway heading to Palm Springs as a surprise to welcome Serena back.

You're supposed to be a professional, but honestly who could blame the guy. Joel Embid and the 76ers played in Miami on Tuesday night and at Tuesday morning’s shoot around- his focus wasn’t only on his basketball game. Joel let everyone know that he might be a little off for the game against the Heat later that night with this video.

If there is one place you can go to get some attention with a quick sob story it’s social media. Lakers player Josh Hart fractured his left hand on Wednesday and posted this picture to Instagram looking sad and sidelined and wanting some social media love. While Josh was probably hoping for some encouraging words from fans, he set himself up for some prime roasting by his teammates.

Robert Kraft- owner of the Patriots is 76. His Girlfriend- Ricki Noel Lander is 38 years old. Considering Kraft’s oldest son is 54, Lander is a pretty much his sugar baby. There was a lot of confusion surrounding if Robert Kraft was actually the father. She was out of the public during her pregnancy and they re-appeared in public together only after she gave birth. A spokesperson for Kraft put out this statement: "Last fall, Ricki Noel Lander became the proud mother of a beautiful, healthy baby. While Robert Kraft is not the biological father, he is thrilled with Ricki’s blessing of having a healthy child. With respect to her family’s privacy, we will not be commenting any further.”

James Edward Harden Jr. born August 26, 1989 is an American professional basketball player for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association. He played college ball for Arizona State, where he was named a All-American and Pac-10 Player of the Year. James was selected with the third overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder. In 2012, he was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year with the Thunder and was a great deal of help for the team to reach the NBA Finals.

Once to the All-NBA Third Team and three times to the All-NBA first team. In 2015, Harden was named MVP at the National Basketball Players Association's first annual Players Awards, being voted by his peers as the league's most valuable player. <a href="https://rumble.com/v3rgi7-james-harden-roasts-travis-scotts-jump-shot.html" target="_blank">James Harden</a> is making a run at the MVP title, and he has some quality footage to put on his highlight reel from last night's game against the Clippers. This is like a defining moment for James Harden- he may need to be referenced from here on out as James Harden BC, AD- Before Crossover and After Demolishing Wesley Johnson. Take a look at what he did.

We all know that Baseball is a sport rich with tradition. There are changes being discussed to make the game more exciting and those changes are not being met with excitement from the fans. So is the case with the Atlanta Braves- who are reportedly not happy with Ronaldo Acuna- their 20 year old top prospect from Venezuela who likes to wear his hat in his own style. The Braves want Acuna to wear his hat straight and maintain a professional appearance while in uniform.

Johnny Manziel has been focused on making his comeback to the NFL. He played 2 seasons with the Browns before he was let go in 2015 for not producing on the field and his troubles off the field. Johnny has recently been focused on making his comeback and he said that the NFL doesn’t even have to pay him. Worth the risk?

Paris Saint Germain announced on Wednesday that their star player Neymar will have to have surgery after fracturing his pinky toe- which means he will definitely miss the Champions League game against Real Madrid. Will he be missing the World Cup? His dad and doctors have different views on the situation.

Odell Beckham is tired of not being paid his value by the New York Giants, and is asking them to cough up $20 million. That would make him the highest paid WR in the NFL by far. Is he worth getting paid more than Antonio Brown, or is OBJ O-B-Cray? Sound off in The Huddle!

It was two hours before the Cleveland Cavaliers were set to host the Philadelphia 76ers when the weirdest thing happened. Tyronn Lue hit JR Smith with suspension for an incident that occurred after the team shoot-around. The incident turned out to be a soup throwing fit involving Smith and an assistant coach.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara recorded 8 rushing touchdowns and 728 yards his rookie season, so it’s no wonder why he’s gaining so much attention, especially from the ladies. One in particular was looking for the Airhead-lover to gift her with a $1,000 purse. But fans were in for a surprise when they found out the two actually knew each other.

Kobe Bryant played his final road game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. After falling 120-111, Bryant took off his shoes, signed them, and gave them to LeBron James. Two days earlier, LeBron recalled his favorite memory of Bryant, who gave then-high schooler James a pair of his shoes all the way back in 2002.

On Wednesday, the Phoenix Suns lost their ninth straight game. Not a surprise when considering their opponent, the Golden State Warriors, just posted the best pre-All-Star break winning percentage of all time. More surprising (but not that much more surprising) is that a fight broke out on the bench between power forward Markieff Morris and guard Archie Goodwin.

Canadian hockey fans are really love their hockey, no matter what league. They take the game seriously, even the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. One fan was so pissed at a ref, he launched a full beer can (FULL) at the ref, nailing him the nuts. Take a look:

Similar to the Oscars, basketball fans only hand out awards to the slow motion, artful flops, as made famous by the likes of J.J. Redick and Chris Paul. But every once in a while, an action flop sneaks its way in and gets recognized by the academy. Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart performed the Mad Max: Fury Road of flops on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks.

The New York Daily News recently reported that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick would prefer to take his talents to the Meadowlands to play for the New York Jets next season. It would certainly be a change in scenery for the 28-year-old quarterback. But would Kaepernick would a good fit in New York, and do the Jets even want him?

We recently got a look at LeBron James' two sons tearing up the court in a basketball showcase in Akron, Ohio. Now, the son of Dwyane Wade, 13-year-old Zaire, who has already grabbed headlines for passing along some sage advice to his dad, has his own mixtape streaming around the world, and it's pretty filthy.

With Super Bowl 50 going down in the Bay Area this week you would think that super star Jerry Rice would be recognized and mobbed everywhere he went, right? Wrong! The Hall of Famer goes under cover as a Lyft driver and San Franciscans are oblivious.

It’s Baker Mayfield’s time to impress in the NFL Combine. The 2017 Heisman winner is getting some slack for being confident while talking to the media. When asked his thoughts on possibly being drafted by the Browns, he said, If anybody is going to turn that franchise around, it would be me.” Do you agree?

Charles Barkley is set to host SNL for the 4th time this weekend, and with Inside the NBA changing locations, SNL cast member Kenan Thompson decided to reprise his role as LaVar Ball and join the party in New York. Check out all the outlandish things he had to say.

Saquon Barkley is a running back from Penn State, and if you don't know about him... you better learn quickly. That boy is a BEAST. Today is the on-field workouts at the combine for running backs and not only did Barkley ANNIHILATE the bench press, he gave the press press a good work over.

During this weekend’s NBA matchup between the Utah Jazz and the Minnesota Timberwolves, things got a little chippy, to say the least. It started in the first half when Karl Anthony Towns got two technicals and ejected before halftime, and the madness had yet to begin. Late in the game, Jeff Teague was frustrated and decided to take it out on Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio with an intentional body check that sent him flying into the first row. This caused the teams to confront each other, and it didn't stop on the court, thanks to Jae Crowder and Jimmy Butler.
