Clippers’ James Harden surprised with court reveal, design on China tour


James Harden saw some of the NBA’s global impact firsthand recently.

On Monday, during the LA Clippers guard’s UNO Tour with Adidas, an outdoor basketball court in Guangzhou, China, featuring a larger-than-life mural of Harden was revealed. According to the Clippers, designer Yin chose the 2025 UNO Tour imagery for the court design, with the tour slogan “Under No One” displayed on one sideline. The slogan also is a nod to Harden’s jersey number (1).

The court was unveiled in the rain, and Harden looked puzzled as officials removed the tarp that covered it. He then pumped his fists in joy.

“Thank you guys. I know it’s rain, you guys here supporting me, I love you so much,” Harden told the hundreds in attendance for the reveal.

Days earlier, thousands of people packed into a Guangzhou City mall to see Harden, who autographed his signature Adidas sneakers along with jerseys.

“You guys never cease to amaze me, every time feels like the first time … I just hope you know the love is reciprocated,” Harden wrote in a social media post.

Since 2019 Harden has been going on tours of China to celebrate the latest release of his signature Adidas shoes. During a 2023 visit, Harden, who then played for the Philadelphia 76ers, went viral for calling out 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey prior to being traded to the Clippers.

In late June, Harden re-signed with the Clippers on a two-year, $81.5 million deal. He averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists in the 2024-25 season, earning All-NBA third-team honors.
