Prodigal Son James Harden returns to Houston for the first time since being trade.
If you are or have been a regular parishioner at any church in your city you have heard the story in the Bible about the prodigal son. It’s a parable based on redemptive mercy, love, grace, and forgiveness. The premise of the story is based on a father excepting one of his son’s back home even though he left on bad terms. On Wednesday, former Houston Rockets player James Harden will play the role of the prodigal son as he returns to the Toyota center as the starting point guard for the Brooklyn Nets. It will be a site very unfamiliar to fans who have watched him go up and down the court in a Rockets uniform for the past eight-plus seasons. The former MVP was traded to the Nets back in mid-January after what some considered as a half-hearted effort on the court to open the season.
