“The beard is AMAZING! And it’s INSURED!” says Art Streiber of Houston Rockets point guard James Harden, whom he photographed for the cover of Texas Monthly‘s Apri issue. “And the beard is attached to a guy who is averaging 29.2 points per game, 8.1 rebounds per game, and 11.2 assists per game. LOVE the decimal points! All kinds of thanks to Nathan Lindstrom, Travis Schiebel, and Elaine Browne for making our 15 minutes with the Great Bearded One possible. And big, Texan thank yous to photo editor Leslie Baldwin and creative director T.J. Tucker for giving me the opportunity to shoot for a magazine that I have long admired.”
