James Harden hears Colin Farrell’s voice in his head
Jul 27, 2016, 7:00 AM
Former Arizona State star James Harden just signed a $118 million extension with the Houston Rockets. He’s a year removed from an even bigger contract with adidas and just might have a signature shoe coming out — with or without the help of rapper Kanye West.
In short, life and business are all good for Harden.
He’s also got a Footlocker deal, and the sneaker store just released a series of commercials featuring Harden listening to #HardensInnerVoice.
The inner voice, for some reason, is that of Irish actor Colin Farrell.
Farrell’s inner voice gives Harden … not so great advice. He compliments Harden’s walking style — “right foot and then left” — and tells him to get into his car in a fresh new way. Putting on two shoes at the same time? Good idea, Farrell says.
Based on those dollar signs in the bank, Harden luckily isn’t listening to such terrible advice in real life.
#Hardensinnervoice doesn’t want him to put on our new @adidas Ultra Boosts like the rest of us.https://t.co/0CUQHdgAiD
