James Harden is officially the greatest boozed up spokesman in sports history after making an amazing pitch for Adidas and disavowing Nike … while spilling out of a club at 2 AM.
The Beard had his $ 200 million Adidas contract on the brain as he and his crew left 1 OAK Wednesday morning. Naturally, our photog asked if everything was cool with his new bosses … y’know, since James was spotted wearing Jordans the other night.
Just watch — cause the video is awesome! As Harden jumps into his SUV he starts yelling, “I got $ 200 million!” … and then brags “Adidas is about to be amazing!”
There ya go Adidas … all the promotion you ever wanted and more.

James Harden -- Still Rocking Air Jordans ... What Adidas Deal? (PHOTO)
Z STAFF
James Harden essentially laughed off the hundreds of millions Adidas is throwing at him … and sported a dope pair of NIKE Air Jordans for date night with Khloe Kardashian.
The Beard and his GF caught a late showing of “Straight Outta Compton” in Calabasas over the weekend. While Harden couldn’t be bothered to put on some Adidas kicks … at least Khloe was sporting the brand’s sweatshirt and sweatpants.
In fairness to Harden, the Adidas deal doesn’t officially begin until October 1 — but we strongly doubt Adidas honchos will be happy about this.
Right before Harden signed his $ 200 million deal … Khloe was seen wearing Adidas to one of his games. Clearly she has a sense of brand loyalty.
