James Harden of the Los Angeles Clippers just turned 35 years old and celebrated in style.
Many friends and family members came out to show love for Harden, including a former teammate.
A photo he shared online, per ClutchPoints, shows Harden having a great time with Kevin Durant, who was all smiles at the birthday party.

Of course, Durant and Harden see one another multiple times a year during the regular season.
They compete against each other often but they’re also friends outside of the game.
That makes sense because they have played on the same team twice: years ago with the Oklahoma City Thunder and more recently with the Brooklyn Nets.
Both of those teams had great talent and potential but they were never able to fully deliver on their promises to fans, which led to them ultimately breaking apart.
Durant has moved around the league a bit but Harden has transferred to more teams, playing for the Houston Rockets, Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, and finally the Clippers since leaving the Thunder.
There isn’t much chance of Harden and Durant performing together on the same team unless you count an All-Star game.
However, you can never tell with these two, especially since both of their respective teams are going through rough patches right now.
The Phoenix Suns were swept out of the playoffs in the first round a few months ago, while the Clippers got pushed out in the opening round and just lost a few big stars in the summer.
So, will Durant and Harden remain with their teams for the rest of their careers or could they perhaps team up again before they retire?
Even if they don’t, they’re obviously still very close friends.
