The Houston Rockets are off to a bad start. They were winless prior to the big victory against James Harden's former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Harden has had quite a tumultuous, roller-coaster summer that saw him transfer from Nike to Adidas. After that he dated Khloe Kardashian and seems to have lost her before the start of the season to her unconscious ex-husband.
On game night against the Orlando Magic, a young team that should not be taken lightly, Harden will be "honored" with his own bobblehead toy. The details from Space City Hoops.
"Tonight however the player who'll be garnering attention on and off the court is the Rockets franchise star James Harden who is being honored by the organization with his own bobblehead. The question is does the bobblehead even look like James Harden? Sure the beard and mohawk are on the small figurine, but many on social media jumped on how much it looks like other people."
Yes, initial photos of the bobblehead on social media elicited hilarious reactions and comparisons, as it seemed like they only got the beard, hairstyle and jersey right.
Here are some reactions.

The new version of the bobblehead has the Beard stirring the pot, but it still does not resemble the Rockets' franchise player.
