But not everyone was so easily convinced that it was a clear case of the munchies.
Die-hard sports fans believe that Harden strategically gained weight to get himself released from his contract.
It’s no secret that Harden wants out, but would he go so far as to pack on the pounds to get a chance at a new team?
Many say heck yeah!
What do you think? Is Harden’s weight gain a simple effect of the COVID-19 quarantine or something more?
