James Harden Joins Board of Saks’ Online Spinoff

James Harden may not be making  moves on the court now that he’s injured, but off the court, the bearded bomber is making serious moves. The Brooklyn Nets superstar has been named to the board of directors for Saks Fifth Avenue department stores’ new e-commerce business, Saks. He is also making a minority investment in the new standalone company.

The company said in a statement that Harden “brings expertise in helping to grow high-potential consumer brands combined with a unique perspective as a notable fashion enthusiast.”

“I’ve spent a lot of time with James talking about fashion,” Saks Executive Chairman Richard Baker told Bloomberg News. “It’s good to have board members and ownership that are focused and motivated to grow the business.”

Saks is adding NBA star James Harden to its board. He's also making a minority investment in the retailer, which adds to his business portfolio that includes BodyArmour drinks and Pura fragrances. And of course there's his Adidas sneaker and apparel line https://t.co/h5Fq1XT7fm

Harden appears to be setting himself up for life after basketball.

Hopefully we’ll be able to talk about Harden getting some action on the Hardwood. Would hate to see him waste his talents on only fashion.
