The Houston Rockets lost to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night in a matchup between James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo that was so overly hyped up that neither player played particularly well.
However, Adidas (the company to which Harden is signed) took out a full-page ad in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel about who should be MVP.
“You’re free to think James Harden deserves to be MVP. Or that he doesn’t,” the ad says.
Harden also showed up in a pink hoodie with the same “FREE TO HARDEN” logo.
A better version of the ad can be found here.
Harden finished with 23 points (9-26 FG, 1-9 3PG), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in the 108-94 loss. Antetokounmpo shot the ball a bit better and had 19 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3PG), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.
What do you all think of this move by Adidas? And where on earth can we find that pink hoodie?!
