Peña's Donuts and Diner in Houston has created a James Harden-inspired donut to celebrate the Rockets reaching the Western Conference finals.

The donut doesn't exactly look like Harden, but as co-owner Aldo Salazar explained to Fernando Alfonso III of the Houston Chronicle, that wasn't the point.

"Our bakers, they're really creative," Salazar said. "It's like a cartoon version of him. It's not supposed to be realistic."

The Harden donuts cost $2.50 each and will be available on game days. It's the first time the bakery, which opened in 2016, has created a donut in honor of a Houston athlete.
