Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a co-founder of Autograph, an NFT platform highlighting Brady and other stars of the sports world. Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden is getting in the Autograph business with a new NFT drop called “Untouchable,” which is part of the James Harden: The Way of the Beard Collection.
The drop occurred just hours before Harden and the Sixers took on the Raptors in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Saturday. Brady took to Twitter to welcome Harden to the Autograph team:

After the drop, Harden’s Sixers didn’t disappoint against Toronto. While the Raptors beating the Sixers in this series was a trendy upset pick, Philadelphia came out and hammered Toronto in Game 1, earning an emphatic 131-111 victory. Tyrese Maxey led the way with 38 points and got plenty of help.
Harden once again didn’t shoot all that well, going just 6-of-17 from the field. But he still finished with 22 points by going 4-of-7 from 3-point range and 6-of-7 from the line. He also helped control the game with his playmaking, dishing out 14 assists as part of a tour de force performance from the Sixers on offense.
Philly will need Harden to improve his shooting efficiency in order to win an NBA title this season, but he can still make a big impact when he’s not shooting well thanks to his ability to run the offense. The Sixers couldn’t have asked for a better start to the series than a 131-point effort against a tough Raptors team.
Harden is hoping to be a king on the court and in the NFT realm. Saturday was a good day for The Beard.
