Arizona State’s men’s basketball program honored The Beard Wednesday night. James Harden is an MVP candidate, and one of the best players on the planet — so the ceremony was deserving.
The Sun Devils paid tribute to Harden at halftime of their contest against UCLA. Harden was All-Pac 10 and an All American at ASU from 2007-09.
Arizona State retired Harden’s No. 13 jersey, raising it to the rafters.
