James Harden explains decision to support alma mater Arizona State with six-figure donation

Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden showed his support for his alma mater, Arizona State, by making a generous donation to the school’s Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) program in April 2024. While the exact amount of his contribution remains undisclosed, Harden emphasized the importance of supporting student-athletes in the current landscape of college sports.

In an interview with Front Office Sports, Harden expressed his belief in compensating players for their hard work and talent, stating, “NIL nowadays is the most important thing because kids want to be compensated for their play and their work … which makes sense.” He saw his donation as a way to help the Arizona State basketball program attract top talent and thrive in the competitive collegiate sports arena.

Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley commended Harden for not only providing financial support but also actively engaging with the basketball program. Harden’s involvement goes beyond writing a check; he regularly meets with the team, shares his experiences, and imparts valuable basketball knowledge to the players. Hurley emphasized that Harden’s presence serves as a role model for the young athletes on the team.

One notable recruit that Arizona State was able to land, thanks in part to Harden’s contributions, was forward Jayden Quaintance. Despite originally committing to the Kentucky Wildcats, Quaintance reconsidered his decision after coach John Calipari’s departure for Arkansas. Within a short span of time, Arizona State secured the talented forward, showcasing the impact of Harden’s support on the program.

Quaintance has made an immediate impact on the team, averaging impressive statistics across multiple categories. His contributions on the court have been instrumental in Arizona State’s success, further highlighting the value of investments like Harden’s in college sports programs.

By supporting student-athletes and actively engaging with the basketball team, Harden is not only making a financial contribution but also shaping the next generation of players. His commitment to Arizona State serves as a testament to the enduring impact of alumni support in the world of college athletics.
