Shortly after beating down former teammate Dwight Howard and the Charlotte Hornets, James Harden extended the Houston Rockets win streak to 11 games yesterday. While riding the high from the win however, the man many call “the beard” made a more shocking announcement.

“We’re going to bring the hottest dudes to the oval office!” Harden proclaimed earlier today. His campaign will effectively start in 2019 of next year and political analysts have already called him Texas’s most qualified presidential candidate of the last 40 years.

Chris Paul has been chosen to be Harden’s running mate for the election. The point guard who is the current president of the NBA’s player association has many talking about whether he is a good fit to be Harden’s Vice President. Paul’s organized and controlled style many say will clash with Harden’s fast and aggressive personality. However Paul seemed to not care about any of that when we talked to him earlier.

“Honestly? If we can make it past the second round of primaries, I’ll be happy.”

Many say that Harden would receive backlash from major news channels resulting in lower turnout rates from voters. Harden himself however, addressed the issue and stated a strategy he had in place when we asked him.

“Yeah you know, many people say our political campaign strategy will be boring. They say I will be doing political campaigning the “wrong” way. But you know what? Paul and I, we just trying to be efficient out here you know? It don’t matter how our campaign works as long as we winning.”

We also interviewed Harden’s campaign manager Mike D’Antoni who some claim will also be writing most of Harden’s speeches and debate answers. Some say D’Antoni is the true mastermind behind Houston’s success the past few season and will be the mastermind behind Harden’s presidential run as well.

“You know I want Harden and Paul to do these things simple and quick. Each speech and answer shouldn’t last more than 7 seconds. If people insult them well… that’s alright. You don’t have to defend against attackers anyways.”

Despite all the confidence coming out of Harden’s party however, the media once again seems to downplay any of Harden’s narrative. Projections currently have him finishing second in the race.
