James Harden, the Philly NBA star, reportedly received a $250,000 gift from his rapper friend Lil Baby on his birthday this weekend.

This past Friday was James Harden‘s 33rd birthday, and it’s safe to say he had a blast celebrating. Many well-known individuals, including former teammate Kevin Durant, were invited to the Philadelphia 76ers’ shooting guard’s birthday celebration, making sure they are on good terms.

A number of people on social media were shocked when Harden celebrated on a boat and threw his birthday cake into the water.

Fans are gaining more information about the big night now that things have reportedly come to a conclusion. One of them has to do with Lil Baby, a close buddy of Harden’s, and a huge birthday present he gave Harden.

James Harden took a pay cut

In addition, Harden accepted a wage reduction of about 15 million USD this off-season. News sources claimed that after speaking with Daryl Morey, he wanted to strengthen the lineup and told Moreyto to give him whatever is left.

The pay cut is not covered by the amount received by the grammy-winning rapper, but a gift is a gift. Harden signed a contract with Philly worth almost USD 68 million for two years.

Harden initially didn’t understand the present at first, but when he was prompted to open it, he realised it carried a quarter of a million, all cash. Fans also raised some questions on Twitter as the video went viral after his pay cut.

Anyone else think this is suspicious after Harden took a pay cut? Where exactly is this money coming from?

Harden took a pay cut to help the Sixers' salary cap. I was joking that this was their way of paying him off the books, by laundering that money as gifts from other people.

High hopes from Harden for next season for the 76ers

The upcoming NBA season will be crucial for Harden and his Philadelphia 76ers as they attempt to go past the 2021–2022 regular season and establish themselves as genuine title contenders. Notably, they were sent out by Miami Heat in the first round of playoffs.

For Joel Embiid to resume playing at the highest level while still leading the team, he needs a strong hand from James Harden. recently, pictures of Harden also went viral where he is seen as very slim and it seems like he has put aside his body bag.
