Now that he is officially a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, James Harden looks happier than a camel on Hump Day.
A funny photo of Harden at 76ers practice went viral Monday. The former NBA MVP had a look of pure joy on his face as he raised his fists in the air.

The 76ers seemed to be endgame for Harden all along. Daryl Morey, who previously worked with Harden on the Houston Rockets, is now Philly’s GM and had an equally giddy reaction to successfully reacquiring The Beard.
The ecstatic picture of Harden could age like wine or like milk depending on how far the 76ers go in the playoffs this year. Another factor could also be Harden’s future beyond this season, which is still pretty uncertain.
