However, earlier this week, pictures of James Harden new look emerged on social media sending Rockets fans into a frenzy.

The NBA shutdown has seemingly kept James Harden busy. The Houston Rockets superstar has been working hard behind the scenes in order to return with a bang if and when the season resumes. In a recent interview with The Athletic, James Harden revealed, “I’ve been doing a lot of cardio. I’ve got treadmills in my houses, weights, and all that good stuff. It really hasn’t affected me like it’s affected a lot of other players.” The secret behind James Harden weight loss, he admitted, is his preference for cardio drills and high-intensity workouts. The report further adds that James prefers to workout two or three times a day. He also likes to combine various different training regimes in order to push his limits and break outside his comfort zone.
