Bam Adebayo admired NBA star James Harden even before the time Harden won the MVP. Back in 2016, a Twitter user asked him about his favorite NBA player and Bam replied “James Harden”. James Harden had a good season in 2015 and it was quite understandable that Bam took Harden’s name as his favorite player. Harden did prove himself in the upcoming years and won the MVP award in the year 2018.

James Harden proving Bam Adebayo right by winning the MVP award
It was too early when Bam Adebayo named James as his favorite player since James was yet to achieve something big. He did it in 2018 and won the MVP award. He expressed his opinion after winning the award and said that he deserved that award in the previous 2 seasons too. The year 2018 will remain one of the best years for Harden since he outperformed everyone in the league. He averaged 36.1 points, 7.5 assists, and 6.6 rebounds in 78 games in 2018-19.
