This may be hard to believe, but James Harden is and has always been a fan of the San Francisco 49ers.
That was on full display as the Los Angeles Clippers star was at Lumen Field to watch the team take on and ultimately defeat the Seattle Seahawks.
The Los Angeles Clippers star, a Southern California native, waited for 49ers players in the tunnel after the game and celebrated with wide receiver Deebo Samuel, tight end George Kittle, and safety George Odum.
In the game, Deebo Samuel caught three of five targets for 102 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 15 yards on four attempts in the 49ers’ 36-24 win over Seattle. Kittle secured five of six targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns.
The Clippers are currently getting set to play a preseason home game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, so James Harden certainly has more than enough time to get back in town for that one.
