Harden says that he and Kobe had several business plans together that the two were hoping to execute before Bryant’s untimely death.
“We had some investments together. We had a couple of business plans together we were actually working on,” Harden told Jonathan Feigen of the “Houston Chronicle” per “Sports Illustrated.”
“Off the court, business savvy, that’s a side nobody really knows about our communication.”
