In Photos: James Harden shows off matching bling with Michael Rubin, Kevin Durant and Travis Scott on 35th birthday
Former NBA MVP James Harden celebrated his 35th birthday on Monday after participating in Yao Ming's famed charity game in Hong Kong. After arriving back in the United States, Harden didn't waste any time before heading to Houston and celebrating his birthday.
Accompanying the 10-time All-Star were none other than his former OKC Thunder teammate Kevin Durant, as well as Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and rapper Travis Scott.
Check out some photos of the birthday celebration below, where Harden, Rubin, and rapper Lil Baby can be seen wearing the same chain.
Harden and Durant's friendship goes way back, with the two spending some of their more formative years together on the OKC Thunder.
The pair then reunited on the Brooklyn Nets several years ago; however, the reunion was short-lived as Durant wound up in Phoenix and Harden wound up in Philadelphia. In the case of Harden and Rubin, the Clippers star has attended several of his summer white parties over the years.
In the case of Harden and Travis Scott, the pair have been friends for some time now, with Scott saying that the NBA star is his "greatest friend of all time" during a birthday speech for the LA star.

When Harden isn't on the court, he's often seen enjoying himself at a club with famous rappers. While out with Travis Scott and Lil Baby for his 35th birthday, Harden was toasted by Scott, who called the NBA star his best friend.
In a toast that has since gone viral, Scott praises James Harden, saying:
"This my greatest friend of all time and I just want everybody to please, if you don't throw up, then just have a good time till your hands and feet can work no more."
"If you have a shot in your hand, I need you to raise that glass to the highest of the highest, we only here to have a good time, not a long time. To the best man of all time, to my best friend, my brother," Scott said.
Over the years, James Harden has become friends with several high-profile rappers, partly due to his love for nightlife. According to SI, Harden even reportedly has his jersey retired at a strip club in Houston after the former NBA MVP spent a million dollars in one night.
