James Harden has a sick beard and an even sicker NBA game on the court. His singing game, however, is well…not up to par. The Houston Rockets star debuted his singing ability — or lack thereof — in a new Foot Locker ad that was just released online.

Watch this at your own risk:

This isn’t the first Foot Locker commercial, featuring NBA stars, that has seen the limelight on the Twitter (as the kids say it). Earlier this year, Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh was featured in a Foot Locker Kids spot.

Here are a few other Foot Locker commercials that feature NBA stars:

Blake Griffin and Chris Paul:

Shaq!

Harden’s Entourage…oh yea, and Kris Humphries.

Ricky Rubio, the backyard wrestler!

Dwight the ghost hunter.

This appears to be the next ‘thing’ in commercials. It seems that James Harden and Blake Griffin will be the poster guys going forward. I’m interesting to see if they get a Harden and Dwight one next.
