James Harden has done it again...This man houdini with his weight. The first time, you could think, maybe it’s just the angles. Maybe on the Rockets, this was just a bad angle, but we saw him on the Nets be sorta out of shape for a while. And now he’s fit again. So how does he do it? A fat suit?

Since the trade, James Harden has looked like, well James Harden. It’s been an up and down season, at times Harden couldn’t get by centers, and other times he was sizing up, finishing through contact. Harden for years has been on the bulkier, stockier size of things. He’s listed at 220 pounds and man thick*.* But his weight, we gotta walk through a path to get to that. If y’all liking the content, feel free to subscribe since over 75% of y’all aren’t. There’s a few videos next week that are gonna be pretty important.

The end of the James Harden Rockets era was something. Harden said that he wanted out before the season started, after Daryl Morey had stepped down and he wanted to go to the Nets, not the 76ers, not the Bulls, the Nets. He partied like crazy, publicly and came into training camp looking like this. Harden, more like pillsbury dough boy. And despite being out of shape, in his first game, Harden dropped 44 points and 17 assists. Didn’t matter how much weight he had, he was still effective. His game has never been dependent on on athleticism. On January 12th, Harden played his last game with the Rockets looking like this and he looked like this. Yeah, the fat suit. The trade happened 2 days later on January 14th, and just two days later, we saw this. Harden looking fit. Like really fit. It looked like he had lost 30 pounds in a span of 4 days.

In his Nets debut, Harden had a 30 point triple double and for the season, Harden was even in MVP talks, averaging 25 and 11, keeping the Nets winning even without KD and Kyrie. He was in shape, quick, running the offense smoothly, everything. **And then this season, Harden was sidelined with a hamstring injury that we don’t really know the legitimacy of.**

But if you look at these pictures again, you’ll realize that Harden is wearing the same type warm up tight long sleeve in his quote unquote skinny pictures. It’s a matter of perspective, sort of like wearing baggy clothing versus tight fitting clothing. We can’t actually tell what Harden’s weights actually were. But even this is still too drastic to say it’s all angles right. It’s possible if the camera lens focal length was wider for this one and not so much for the other one. This can create discrepancies in the face, in the body. It can change how a person looks. This specific camera angle pregame isn’t the standard used during the game, **so the camera adding a few pounds is definitely a possibility, but it’s not the whole story.**

Towards the end of each of his runs with the Rockets and Nets, Harden was unhappy and unmotivated. It looks like he doesn’t have energy on the court which only adds to the out of shape narrative. In fact, Harden makes it a mission to make it known that he’s out of shape. On the Rockets, he purposefully gained weight, became out of shape to become more of a headache for the Rockets.

At the end of his Nets tenure and after Harden’s unhappiness with the Nets was public, James Harden ramped up his late night activities. I’m not saying he doesn’t go out if he doesn’t wanna be traded. **What I’m saying is that he increased it, probably also dropping any sort of diet and workout regime in the process and putting on some weight on.**

Harden is capable of shredding 5 pounds in terms of water weight, that is normal for players in general. Especially considering that when he joins a new team, he has to practice with the team, but more importantly than that, Harden most likely reverses whatever messed up diet he’s been on the weeks leading up to a trade. **This leads to a dramatic change in his body, sort of like starting a new diet and immediately losing more than 2 pounds in one week.**

So when you see Harden performing well on a new team, it’s literally because it’s new team new Harden. That’s the power of being motivated and happy. For a lot of NBA athletes, it’s a mindset that leads to them to greatness and better play. It can be the difference from all-star and superstar.

This whole fatsuit stuff is funny, but it’s kinda rooted in reality. While the camera may be adding on a few extra pounds, Harden is legitimately letting himself go to make the team let him go.
