This may be hard to believe, but James Harden is and has always been a fan of the San Francisco 49ers.
That was on full display as the Los Angeles Clippers star was at Lumen Field to watch the team take on and ultimately defeat the Seattle Seahawks.
The Los Angeles Clippers star, a Southern California native, waited for 49ers players in the tunnel after the game and celebrated with wide receiver Deebo Samuel, tight end George Kittle, and safety George Odum.

Despite being worth millions of dollars, fans couldn’t help but notice that James Harden wasn’t dressed like a man with money.
Many fans took to social media and stated that Harden looked like a homeless man or someone who had rolled out of bed and came to the game.
In the game, Deebo Samuel caught three of five targets for 102 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 15 yards on four attempts in the 49ers’ 36-24 win over Seattle. Kittle secured five of six targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns.
The Clippers are currently getting set to play a preseason home game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, so James Harden certainly has more than enough time to get back in town for that one.
James Harden Has A lot On His Plate After The Departure of Paul George
Things got much harder for the Clippers after the departure of Paul George.
Kawhi Leonard’s health and usage remain in question as he enters his sixth year in Los Angeles.
James Harden is 35 years old, and although he is still rather good at what he does, he is no longer that guy from his Houston days who can carry a team.
Playing so much at his advanced age could lead to injury.
The Clippers are still trying to chase that elusive NBA Finals appearance and victory.
