Thunder guard James Harden is in his third season out of Arizona State. The Los Angeles native has grown into a very solid player, averaging 12.2 points per game last regular season and 13.0 points per game during the Thunders’ playoff run to the Western Conference Finals. Harden may not receive the attention that teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook see, but the man with the crazy beard is certainly growing in stature.

This ifollosports.com original video shows the high demand for Harden's signature, outside of the Grand Hotel Minneapolis, a few hours prior to the Thunders 104-100 victory over the new look Timberwolves.
