James Harden can do whatever James Harden wants, but I gotta take a sec to applaud the man for his choice of Monday night entertainment.
James Harden is living my best life by eating ice cream and watching baseball alone
Hero.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Can this be a judgement-free space to share a universal truth? Watching entertainment alone is a damn joy that we’ve been convinced to stigmatize because it means getting less butts in seats. Watching a movie alone is one of the purest, best things you can do — even if you have a large friends group or a significant other. There’s no risk of someone in your group talking, you have full autonomy to stay for the credits, you have total control over snack choices. Watching a movie alone removes all the anxiety from the experience, and sports are the same way.
Top all this off with Harden choosing a mini helmet ice cream, objectively one of the best snacks in all of sports, and you have the perfect evening for a dude who is doing his best reverse Ryan Gosling impression and trying to kill jazz.
