In a recent interview he had with GQ, he talked about his mother as other NBA superstars have done in the past like Kevin Durant and LeBron James and what she means for him.
Harden, takes pride that his career has helped and enabled his mother, to have an NBA life of her own. Monja Willis (Harden’s mother) is a bumper crop of NBA moms that include Draymond Green’s mother as well as Kevin Durant’s mom.
As he states, mothers of NBA players have meetings to talk about their sons: “My mom—she hangs out with, like, moms of other players that I don’t even talk to,” states Harden. “There are mom meetings, things like that. That makes me happy, ’cause they get to talk about their sons behind our backs. She deserves that.”
