<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is James Harden?</b></h2>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">James Harden has been one of the NBA's most talented offensive players over the last decade. The bearded shooting guard is known for his crafty style, superb ability to create his shot, and excellence at driving to the basket and drawing fouls.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">After being selected #3 overall in the 2009 draft out of Arizona State, Harden first made his mark with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He, however, blossomed into a superstar after a 2012 trade to the Houston Rockets, developing creative moves like his signature step-back jump shot. With his scoring touch, he won MVP honors in 2018 and three scoring titles while with the Rockets, solidifying his status among the game's current greats.</p>

<h2 class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's early life</b></h2>
James Harden was born on August 26, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, and spent most of his early life there. James Harden's parents are James Harden Sr. and Monja Willis. Since his father was in and out of prison throughout his childhood, Harden was mostly raised by his mother. He was the youngest of three children and there is a ten-year age gap between him and his next sibling. His elder brother is Akili Roberson, who has played college football. His elder sister, Arnique Jelks, is an interior designer.

Harden was nicknamed Lucky by his mother because Willis had multiple miscarriages before giving birth to him. Raising her children in Compton, Willis encouraged them to pursue sports to stay out of trouble.

The Beard developed a love for the game of basketball when he was very young and started playing the sport passionately. Soon, Harden became one of the most talented high school stars in the state. After graduating from Artesia High School, Lakewood in 2007, he received multiple college offers and committed to Arizona State University. Harden played two years of college basketball where he impressed many and declared for the NBA draft in 2009.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's wife and children</b></h2>
Harden has been in romantic relationships with many high-profile celebrities, like Amber Rose, Khloe Kardashian, Brittany Renner, and Ashanti, among others. Currently, the 2018 NBA MVP is rumored to be in a relationship with model Jessyka Jenshel.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's career timeline</b></h2>
James Harden started playing baseball after his mother Monja Willis encouraged her kids to pursue sports. A young James then turned to basketball and fell in love with the game. He soon developed impressive skills and always believed that he would one day play in the NBA. A few years later, he was a high school superstar and led his team to back-to-back state championships. Harden was also named a McDonald's All-American for his performances.

Harden's basketball coach Scott Pera was a huge reason behind the latter's success in high school. So Harden promised Pera that he would commit to whichever school he joined. After Pera joined Arizona State University as an assistant coach, Harden kept his promise and committed to the school. Harden's ascension continued in college where he caught the eyes of NBA teams. After two years, he declared for the NBA draft in 2009.

The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Harden as the 3rd pick of the draft. The Thunder already had young stars like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in their ranks. So Harden had to earn his time and come off the bench. He did not start any game in his rookie season despite playing 76 games. Also, he started only 7 games in his three-year stint with the Thunder. In his third year, Harden won the Sixth-Man of the Year award averaging 16.8 points per game. However, his time at OKC came to an end after the Thunder lost the 2011-12 NBA Finals.

[caption id="attachment_2205482" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2205482" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0045805835h.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1748" /> December 19, 2019, Los Angeles, California, USA: James Harden 13 of the Houston Rockets during warmups prior to their NBA, Basketball Herren, USA game with the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday December 19, 2019 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

OKC could have had one of the best trios ever. But they were reluctant to give Harden a Max deal, and he was not ready to accept anything less. So the Thunder traded Harden to the Houston Rockets, which allowed him to showcase his full potential. In his first season with the Rockets, Harden erupted for 25.9 points per game, which was a massive jump from the previous year. He also made the All-Star Team for the first time in his career in the same season. Harden continued his offensive dominance and was unstoppable at times. In 2018, he was the scoring champion and also clinched the NBA MVP award. He won the scoring title in the next two seasons as well. However, he could not lead the Rockets to the NBA Finals.

After spending nine seasons with the Rockets, Harden played for the Brooklyn Nets for less than two years. He then joined the Philadelphia 76ers in 2021 and has been an integral part of the team since then. Even <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-overconfident-james-harden-emphasises-respect-after-securing-second-straight-dub-for-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">though he is not his MVP self</a> anymore, Harden is still a great playmaker who has averaged over 10 assists per game in the last five seasons. He was also the assists leader for the 2022-23 season.

James Harden's 2024 Net Worth, Family, House, Cars, and More

James Harden Archives

<h2>Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023, Family, House, Cars, and More</h2>
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023 (Update)</b></h2>
Joel Embiid has an estimated net worth of around $35 million, according to various reports. For the 2022-23 season, Embiid reportedly earned about $34 million playing for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/philadelphia-76ers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a>. In his nine years in the league so far, the Cameroonian has earned over $166 million in NBA salaries. The 76ers star also makes a lot of money from his endorsement deals and investments.
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s early life?</b></h2>
Joel Embiid was born on 16 March 1994, in Yaound?, Cameroon where he spent most of his childhood. From a very young age, Embiid was drawn towards sports. However, he did not pick up a basketball until he was 15. He then moved to the United States when he was 16 to play basketball. After one year at Montverde Academy, Embiid transferred to The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida, where he developed into one of the best high school players in the country. The 7' center graduated high school in 2013 and committed to the University of Kansas. He played one year of college basketball for the Jay Hawks before declaring for the NBA draft in 2014.
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s family and personal life</b></h2>
Joel Embiid was born to Thomas Embiid, who was a military officer, and his wife Christine. The couple had three children together. Joel is the oldest and has a younger sister Muriel Embiid. The youngest of the siblings, Arthur Embiid, unfortunately passed away in a car crash in 2014. Muriel has been a major supporter of her brother during the ups and downs in his NBA career.

The Philadelphia 76ers star has been in a relationship with Brazilian model Anne de Paula since 2018. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2020, who was named Arthur in memory of Joel's late brother.
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s career</b></h2>
Joel Embiid mostly played soccer and volleyball during his childhood and dreamed about playing professional volleyball in Europe. He started playing basketball at 15 and was discovered by NBA veteran Luc Mbah a Moute, who is also from Yaound?, during a basketball camp. With Mbah a Moute's mentorship, Embiid moved to the United States when he was 16 to pursue a career in basketball. However, Embiid's start to basketball was not the easiest.

After starting to play basketball at the age of 15, Embiid lacked some physical abilities and skills required for the game when he moved to the US a year later. He struggled to get game time during his time with Montverde Academy. Also, he often faced a lot of criticism from his teammates. However, he was determined and worked harder than ever. During his time with The Rock School, Embiid developed remarkably and helped the team clinch the state championship.

His performances garnered a lot of attention and he became a five-star recruit. After analyzing his options carefully, Embiid opted to join the University of Kansas in 2013. He had some major performances for the Jay Hawks during his one year. However, he missed out on the NCAA tournament due to an injury. He then declared for the NBA draft in 2014.

The Philadelphia 76ers selected Embiid as the third pick in the 2014 NBA draft despite the injury concerns. He had a tough start to his life in the NBA as well. The Cameroonian missed the first two seasons of his career due to a broken navicular bone in his foot. This raised doubts about the future of Embiid in the league and many questioned the 76ers' decision to pick him. However, he came back strong in 2016.

Embiid averaged over 20 points per game in his first season in the league and earned <span style="font-weight: 400">a spot in the All-Rookie First Team. He continued his development and clinched a spot in the All-Star team the next year. In the next few seasons, Embiid established himself as one of the best players in the league. In 2022, he became the first center since NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal to win the scoring title. He has been in the running for the NBA MVP award for three seasons in a row and finally won the award this season.</span>

Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023, Family, House, Cars, and More Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023 (Update) Joel Embiid has an estimated net worth of around $35 million, according to various reports. For the 2022-23 season, Embiid reportedly earned about $34 million playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. In his nine years in the league so far, the Cameroonian has earned over $166 million in NBA salaries. The 76ers star also makes a lot of money from his endorsement deals and investments. Joel Embiid?s early life? Joel Embiid was born on 16 March 1994, in Yaound?, Cameroon where he spent most of his childhood. From a very young age, Embiid was drawn towards sports. However, he did not pick up a basketball until he was 15. He then moved to the United States when he was 16 to play basketball. After one year at Montverde Academy, Embiid transferred to The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida, where he developed into one of the best high school players in the country. The 7&#8242; center graduated high school in 2013 and committed to the University of Kansas. He played one year of college basketball for the Jay Hawks before declaring for the NBA draft in 2014. Joel Embiid?s family and personal life Joel Embiid was born to Thomas Embiid, who was a military officer, and his wife Christine. The couple had three children together. Joel is the oldest and has a younger sister Muriel Embiid. The youngest of the siblings, Arthur Embiid, unfortunately passed away in a car crash in 2014. Muriel has been a major supporter of her brother during the ups and downs in his NBA career. The Philadelphia 76ers star has been in a relationship with Brazilian model Anne de Paula since 2018. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2020, who was named Arthur in memory of Joel&#8217;s late brother. Joel Embiid?s career Joel Embiid mostly played soccer and volleyball during his childhood and dreamed about playing professional volleyball in Europe. He started playing basketball at 15 and was discovered by NBA veteran Luc Mbah a Moute, who is also from Yaound?, during a basketball camp. With Mbah a Moute&#8217;s mentorship, Embiid moved to the United States when he was 16 to pursue a career in basketball. However, Embiid&#8217;s start to basketball was not the easiest. After starting to play basketball at the age of 15, Embiid lacked some physical abilities and skills required for the game when he moved to the US a year later. He struggled to get game time during his time with Montverde Academy. Also, he often faced a lot of criticism from his teammates. However, he was determined and worked harder than ever. During his time with The Rock School, Embiid developed remarkably and helped the team clinch the state championship.

Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports His performances garnered a lot of attention and he became a five-star recruit. After analyzing his options carefully, Embiid opted to join the University of Kansas in 2013. He had some major performances for the Jay Hawks during his one year. However, he missed out on the NCAA tournament due to an injury. He then declared for the NBA draft in 2014. The Philadelphia 76ers selected Embiid as the third pick in the 2014 NBA draft despite the injury concerns. He had a tough start to his life in the NBA as well. The Cameroonian missed the first two seasons of his career due to a broken navicular bone in his foot. This raised doubts about the future of Embiid in the league and many questioned the 76ers&#8217; decision to pick him. However, he came back strong in 2016. Embiid averaged over 20 points per game in his first season in the league and earned a spot in the All-Rookie First Team. He continued his development and clinched a spot in the All-Star team the next year. In the next few seasons, Embiid established himself as one of the best players in the league. In 2022, he became the first center since NBA legend Shaquille O&#8217;Neal to win the scoring title. He has been in the running for the NBA MVP award for three seasons in a row and finally won the award this season.
