The Hilarious Impact of James Harden's Weight Fluctuations in NBA 2k

Alright, alright, alright! Let's get one thing straight about James Harden, the man with the illustrious beard and the handles that can break ankles: he's a baller, FIRST CLASS. But, ladies and gentlemen, when the 2020-2021 NBA season rolled around, The Beard was grabbing headlines for all the WRONG reasons. Why? The man showed up looking a little... THICKER than usual. Now, I love me some James Harden; I respect the man's game. But you cannot tell me he looked like the MVP we've seen before. Now, for those of you living under a rock, Harden suddenly went from Houston's chubbier version to Brooklyn's svelte superstar, practically overnight! This had everybody, including yours truly, scratching their heads. Did he wear a fat suit to get out of Houston? Really? Is that where we are now? It's the most ABSURD theory I've heard, but in today's NBA, who knows?
