James Harden's Four-Word Message to Fans Goes Viral

While the Clippers were eliminated in the first round of the 2025 playoffs, their season was a resounding success, considering they lost Paul George and Russell Westbrook in the 2024 offseason.

With championship expectations from Harden's fans in particular, many are wondering if the 11-time All-Star will ever add a championship to his illustrious resumé.

At Fanatics Fest, Harden sat down for a live show and discussed his goals for the remainder of his career.

As Harden was speaking, a fan from the live crowd shouted out "Win a championship."

Harden stopped mid-sentence to address the fan, saying "I will, I'm trying."

The crowd burst into laughter as Harden's demeanor was calm and collected.

The Clippers are entering a critical offseason headlined by what Harden chooses to do with his $36 million player option. It is widely suggested that Harden will decline his player option and sign a new contract with the Los Angeles Clippers to align with his co-star Kawhi Leonard's contract.

The Clippers are expected to retain Harden at a contract level below the maximum, with an average annual value similar to his current one, while Leonard is under contract through the 2026-2027 season.
