NBA fans roasted James Harden’s ridiculous fuzzy blue outfit ahead of Game 1 vs. Celtics

Harden’s Game 1 look drew comparisons to The Muppets.

NBA players are well-known for making bold fashion statements. These can often range from cutting-edge to flat-out eccentric.

In big games, it’s always turned up a notch, and when you get to the playoffs, it’s time to really open up the playbook. In Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden’s case, that meant donning what can only be described as a fuzzy blue monstrosity while entering TD Garden ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Boston Celtics.

And when I say monstrosity, I mean it literally. He bears a striking resemblance to Cookie Monster. You just have to see it for yourself.

Naturally, it started quite a stir online, and NBA fans had quite a few jokes about Harden’s style.
