NBA superstars continue to uplift the community and represent themselves as model citizens.
League MVP James Harden continues to get buckets, keep his nose clean and represent the NBA community well.
The Houston Rockets supreme baller formed a Super Team with The Harris County District Attorney’s Office Vehicular Crimes Division, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), adidas, Uber and Spring ISD on Tuesday, to host a fun but candid student assembly at Westfield High School in Harris County about the dangers of drinking and driving.

#BIGFACTS: “Drivers under the age of 21 represent about 10% of licensed drivers in the U.S. but are responsible for 17% of fatal alcohol-involved crashes. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), more young people abuse alcohol than any other substance, and 12- to 20-year-olds account for more than 10% of the country’s alcohol consumption.”
The students learned about the repercussions of drinking and driving from concerned leaders of the community. There was no extensive media coverage or big to-do with security guards and such. Just an NBA titan linking up with other social activists and passionate, kid-driven people to use his influence and the celebrity stage he commands to enlighten and build with the younger generation.
Harden had the kids in attendance in Instagram heaven as he flicked it up after speaking with them and representing himself as a walking PSA and a strong NBA role model.
