James Harden trade: Houston car wash offers 'free service' in exchange of old JH13 jerseys

James Harden is arguably one of the greatest players to ever play for the Rockets since the days of the legendary Hakeem Olajuwon. The 31-year-old has been the cornerstone of the franchise for the better part of this decade, but the ship has sailed and The Beard is on his way out. Harden is set to join the Brooklyn Nets in a four-team blockbuster trade, ending months of turmoil for the Rockets as a franchise.

James Harden has a host of franchise records from his eight-year stint with the Rockets, but the final months of his stay might have tarnished his legacy in Houston. The Beard missed the first few weeks of the training camp in December, partying in Atlanta and Las Vegas with rapper and friend Lil Baby. And when he did return, the 31-year-old looked visibly out of shape and often disinterested. The 2018 MVP also broke protocols on multiple occasions and has failed to score past 20 in the last four games for the Rockets. His 'farewell speech' was the final straw for the Houston front office, who tried their best to keep hold of him.

Harden had a stellar career with the Rockets, with only the NBA championship missing from the trophy cabinet. However, his recent antics mean that Houston will not ever miss him much and the tide has turned on 'The Beard' who will soon be plying his trade in Brooklyn. The Harden hate brigade has already begun, and his famous #13 jersey can be now found in bins and trash cans.

In a clip that has gone viral since the Harden to Nets trade was finalised, a car wash has offered free service to its customers who threw away their James Harden jerseys. The employee inspects the Harden kit, and then throws them in a bin, which was labelled as “Trash Harden Jerseys Here”.
