James Harden and his iconic bushy beard

James Harden, 33, the best shooting guard in the NBA is with the Philadelphia 76ers team now. But he wants to be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.

James has a signature beard that he started growing in 2009. He had revealed that he was clean-shaven in his high school days. But in college, he had a smaller trimmed beard. And with the start of his NBA career, he stopped trimming it since he was too lazy to do it.

James’ elder brother, Akili Roberson, is a barber. He joked:

“To be truthful, I think he started growing a beard because he saw mine coming in and he got hair on his face.”
“He won’t say that’s what it was, but he won that battle.”

However, James disagrees. He said:

“You see his beard? It’s terrible, I didn’t get it from him, I just got it. I didn’t get it from him.”

Moreover, James’ beard has become a brand and the Adidas shoe logo features it. He is also nicknamed The Beard and people say Fear the Beard.

James and his relationships

James was dating Khloe Kardashian in 2015 and 2016 for eight months. In 2017, he told Sports Illustrated:

“I didn’t like all the attention that came with dating a member of the Kardashian clan.”

Around the same time, James dated Amber Rose who is an American model, actress, and TV presenter. Amber had said:

“Me and James have a very special friendship.”

And in April 2018, he was spotted with songstress Ashanti, 42. A source told the website Tarez Owens:

“James Harden put Ashanti up at a Houston hotel, then she sat with his family at the game and he bought her flowers. They are 100 percent in a relationship. James is a player, but he is getting older,”

One Twitter user had said that he had earlier spotted the two enjoying each other’s company in Las Vegas in 2016.

James has also been linked with Jessyka Janshel who is a model. She is an Instagram star with 600k followers on it. The two were spotted on several occasions since 2017.

Other celebrities with whom he has been associated romantically are Brittany Renner, Malaysia Pargo, Lesanik, Tahiry Jose, Sarah Bellew, Kyra Chaos, and rapper Trina.

James and Lil Baby

James is a great pal of American rapper, Lil Baby, 28. They got close over the years and it was not due to sports or music. Lil Baby revealed that it was due to their common sniper mentality. He said:

“He’s my guy,”
“He a sniper, I’m a sniper.”

This might be a metaphor for their romantic abilities. Moreover, they attend strip clubs together. Lil also added that the two became best friends from day one of meeting each other.

Additionally, rapper Lil gifted James cash of USD 250000 in coins and dollars as a birthday gift on the next day of James’ 33rd birthday. Lil said:

“I ain’t have time to get you nothing,”
“I know you ain’t low on no money or nothing.”
