Cleveland basketball’s latest chapter has already gotten off to an explosive start.
James Harden made his Cavaliers debut Saturday night in Sacramento, but he took a backseat during his postgame interview after it got humorously crashed by hip-hop sensation Travis Scott.
Harden and his All-Star teammate Donovan Mitchell, speaking with Cavs sideline reporter Serena Winters after a 132–126 win over the Kings, broke out into hysterics as the animated Scott ran across the court, snatched the microphone, and went berserk.
“We goin’ to the yard!” Scott yelled before quickly darting off. “What are we doing? DM, JH — what the f–k?!”
The since-viral clip seemingly captured an early bonding moment between the All-Star guards, following Cleveland’s acquisition of Harden ahead of the trade deadline in exchange for Darius Garland.
The former MVP scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to finish with 23 points and eight assists in his first game wearing Wine and Gold, helping the Cavs avoid an upset at Golden 1 Center.
Mitchell led the charge with 35 points.
Scott, a Houston native, has a longstanding friendship with the former Rockets star.
Harden, 36, guest-starred in Scott’s music video for his 2016 track “way back,” which name-drops the shooting guard on the song’s hook.
The music video has since been unlisted, potentially due to Scott’s sponsorship deal with Nike and Harden’s affiliation with Adidas.
The Cavaliers (32–21) sit at fourth place in the Eastern Conference, hoping the addition of Harden can lift the squad into title contention.
