James Harden and Drake were catalysts for a $600,000 loss during Lil Baby's Bahamas trip

James Harden is known for having wild parties with celebrities, and sometimes the parties can get a little crazy and end with some people losing a lot of money.

Harden is entering the 2022-23 season with a lot to prove. He took a pay cut to stay with the 76ers and help build the team up so that the roster would be more well-rounded.

However, the team hasn’t gotten off to the hot start that they thought they would. PJ Tucker and Danuel House were brought on, but their contributions have been subpar so far.

Harden himself can’t help his team out right now. The star guard has been injured since November 2nd, nursing a strained right foot tendon that’s kept him out.

However, a return is coming soon, and even without Harden, the 76ers have kept afloat, going 8-4 over the last 12 games to sit at 12-9 after a slow start to the year.

Lil Baby recalls how he lost $600,000 gambling with James Harden, Drake, and Meek Mill

Lil Baby is one of Harden’s closest celebrity friends. The duo has often been together, partying and living it up, going back to Harden’s days with the Houston Rockets.

As a result of their many encounters, Lil Baby has built up quite the repertoire of Harden stories, including one fascinating one where Harden lost more than half a million dollars.

Lil Baby has tried to go big before, including winning $2 million while playing Baccarat in Las Vegas.

James Harden came out firing before injury

Aside from having some wild experiences with some of the best rappers in the game, Harden has come out well this season. He was nearly averaging a triple-double before he went out at 22 points per game, 7 rebounds per game, and 10 assists per game.

Harden’s role has changed a lot since his days in Houston and with Tyrese Maxey’s rise, he doesn’t need to be the high-volume scorer that he used to be.

Now, he’s a facilitator, a master of creating openings for his offense so that the primary threat, Joel Embiid, gets the best possible looks. Of course, Harden is more than capable of creating his own shot and does so on a number of occasions, but that’s a secondary role for him now.

Hopefully, he can return soon and accelerate the 76ers progress even more.
