At just 14 years old, James Harden wrote his dreams onto paper with a simple note promising his mom, ‘Imma Be A Star.’
“As every young kid, you have dreams…you have aspirations. You ask for things when you’re a kid and one day, I asked my mom for some money and I wrote her a note,” Harden explained. “It said, ‘Could u wake me up at 7:00 and could u leave me a couple of dollars. P.S. Keep this paper. Imma be a star.’”
Living out the goal he created 14 years ago, Harden continues to rewrite NBA record books and solidify his status as a superstar of the game. The second edition of Imma Be A Star, designed with black and gold accents, serves to inspire future stars of the game and commemorate the note James’ mom has kept to this day.
