James Harden officially enters the world of fashion

James Harden, the star of the Brooklyn Nets, has officially joined the board of directors of Saks, one of the most important brands in e-commerce luxury retail market. This investment - the first of a long series in the last two years for Barba - represents in effect the entry into luxury fashion for the 2019 MVP, who has always been passionate about fashion. After acquiring minority stakes in Therabody, Bodyarmor, Pura, Gopuff and Art of Sport and the Houston Dynamo MLS football team, the former OKC and Rockets joins the board of the company that separated from the famous department stores in March Saks Fifth Avenue to become a standalone e-commerce platform.

On top of his $ 51 million he will collect in 2021, Harden said he was "proud of all the investments made because they are all organic, authentic and represent who I am and what I believe in". The separation of Saks from the physical stores on Fifth Avenue was possible thanks to a $ 500 million investment from equity firm Insight Partners, which valued the company at $ 2 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal.

But as Harden enters the world of fashion and luxury, a study by RushOrderTees revealed that #13 of the Nets tops the list of "worst dressed NBA players". Data from the survey - which involved 28,000 people across the United States - sees Harden in first place with a score of 5.2 out of 10, with 22.8% of participants flagging "trash" under James's outfit. In second place is Serge Ibaka of the Los Angeles Clippers, Kyle Kuzma of the Los Angeles Lakers and Gary Trent Jr. of the Toronto Raptors just off the podium.
