James Harden apparently had a few things to say after watching the Deshaun Watson lead the Cleveland Browns take down the Carolina Panthers.
The NBA star was spotted leaving Huntington Bank Field after the Browns secured a big win on Sunday. And when Harden noticed a camera nearby, he did what any excited sports fan might do.
He delivered three simple words. Short, loud and clear. No long speech, no complicated analysis. Just Harden celebrating what was clearly a huge moment for Cleveland.

“Deshaun Watson, baby!”
Harden, as a fellow franchise star for a Cleveland sports team, came to show his support to both the team and Watson.
The two players actually have a lot in common, having both represented Houston franchises for the majority of their careers while playing their best football.
While Harden was the star player for the Rockets, Watson was the standout quarterback for the Texans during the late 2010s.
During their time together in Houston, the two formed a friendship, often being spotted together at nightclubs and other prominent locations within the city.
Now that both players find themselves in the same city again, one can imagine the two have rekindled their friendship and are spending more time together whenever possible.
Harden only has a little under a month of free time, as the NBA season begins next month, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be fighting to earn a top seed in the stacked Eastern Conference.
For Browns fans, the win was the important part. For Harden, it was apparently time to celebrate like he had personally completed the game-winning drive.
And somewhere, Harden’s beard probably celebrated too, because in sports, sometimes three words are all you need.
“Deshaun Watson, baby!” That is the whole speech.
Mic drop, beard shake and Browns win!
