James Harden started to hang out with Khloe Kardashian in early July.
The couple grew serious this summer, after Harden led the Houston Rockets to the Western Conference Finals and finished second in league MVP voting.
And now? Following his first three games of professional basketball after he started dating the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star?
Harden’s team is 0-3. They have lost all three games by at leas 20 points.
Harden has made just 12 of 54 field goal attempts (22.2 percent) and is 3-of-32 from three-point range (9.3 percent).
He could sink his next 24 three-point attempts in a row… and still have a lower three-point shooting percentage than Steph Curry.
Might Harden’s relationship with Kardashian, especially during this tumultuous period with Lamar Odom in the hospital, be to blame for these shooting woes?
“I’m just shooting my shots that I normally shoot,” Harden told reporters after the latest loss.
“I’m not really trying to think about it too much. As good of a shooter as I am, I’m still going to have struggles throughout the season. This is the first couple games, so it’s tough. But just stay with it.”
Despite Khloe going to court and calling off her divorce from Lamar, insiders say she is still dating Harden.
Khloe herself has said, at least, that she is not romantically involved with her estranged husband.
Her status with Harden remains a bit unclear at the moment, but Harden’s horrendous opening to the season is a simple point of fact.
We’ve seen plenty of men be ruined by Kim Kardashian and her family in the past. Might James Harden be next?
