James Harden bleeds Rockets red, and according to him, that's never, ever going to change.

Responding Saturday to a fan on Twitter who told the All-Star guard he hopes he never leaves Houston, Harden assured him he's not going anywhere:

Harden recently made a sizable donation to the Hurricane Harvey relief, pledging $1 million to aid the city.

Houston extended the 28-year-old this summer to keep him with the Rockets through the 2022-23 campaign, paying him a record $228 million over the next six seasons (two years remaining on his current deal).

He averaged 29.1 points, 11.2 assists, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 81 appearances last season for the 55-27 Rockets, while finishing second in voting for Most Valuable Player.
