James Harden, Carson Palmer celebrate National Puppy Day

The Houston Rockets and star guard James Harden celebrated National Puppy Day with a video that’s sure to drive the internet crazy.

The video, posted on the team’s social media accounts, shows Harden alone before panning back to reveal several puppies on the couch around him. Harden’s frown then turns to a big smile.

The Rockets weren’t the only professional sports team to celebrate National Puppy Day.

Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer introduced his dog Nemo to fans in a video on the team’s Twitter account. However, Nemo may be a bit large to fit the technical definition of a puppy.

On #NationalPuppyDay, say hey to Carson Palmer's dog, Nemo.

Moondog, the mascot of the Cleveland Cavaliers, was the highlight of that team’s acknowledgement of puppies. The team cleared Moondog to go shirtless to celebrate.
