Clippers' James Harden Becomes 1st Premier Creator for MyPrize Social Gaming Platform

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is now the first-ever MyPrize Premier Creator, per an announcement from MyPrize on Friday.

Per a MyPrize press release, this is the first occasion in which a "major athlete will stream, game, and directly interact with fans through an integrated multiplayer social gaming experience."

MyPrize gave an idea on what Harden will do.

"Harden will co-develop and release exclusive games, livestream content, interactive experiences, and custom fan activations that take full advantage of the platform's Play Together multiplayer rooms. Fans will be able to join Harden's room, game alongside him, and engage with him live, creating a direct, immersive connection unlike anything that's been done before."

The 36-year-old offered a statement on his new partnership.

"Connecting with my fans has always been one of the best parts of what I do, and MyPrize gives me a whole new way to do that. I can hop on, stream, talk, and play with people in real time. It's real, it's fun, and it creates a whole new level of community. MyPrize is at the intersection of culture, entertainment, media, and gaming: everything that moves the world right now. That's why I'm excited to team up with them. This is the future, and I'm hyped to help push it even further."

Harden is having a sensational season in his 17th NBA campaign, averaging 26.9 points, 8.4 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game. He's well on his way to making his 11th All-Star game and could very well be on his eighth All-NBA team when all is said and done.
