Willis also included a note Harden wrote telling her to "Keep this paper Imma be a star."
Harden's words proved prophetic as he played at the highest level of his career. He led the NBA in scoring with a career-high 30.4 points per game and helped the Rockets win the most games (65) in franchise history.
Even though Houston's 2017-18 season ended in heartbreaking fashion as the team was unable to close out a 3-2 series lead in the Western Conference Finals, Harden and the Rockets had plenty of reason to celebrate their accomplishments from the past year.
