Mike Rubin, former owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, threw a massive Fourth of July party in the Hamptons. The crème de la crème of celebrities showed up in all-white including a-list entertainers Jay-Z and Beyonce, JLo and Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Hart, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin; models Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner; singers Lil Baby, Usher, Jack Harlow, and professional athletes including NFL QB Tom Brady, and Premiere League star Kylian Mbappé, among many others.
When 76ers star James Harden shared the photos above, he captioned the pics: “Great fellowship.”

NBA fans are having a field day with speculation over Harden’s presence at the party, after ESPN reported that he was “exploring trade scenarios” (see below). As one fan replied: “He running it back with Philly?” Another chimed in about Harden: “bro’s with embiid as he requests a trade.”
He hasn’t left yet but still 76ers fans are replying: “Come back to Philly homie” and another shared his opinion on Harden: “He wants to stay in philly. Don’t believe in that trade bs. If anyone wants a trade it’s the sixers and not him. How would he want a trade and then post pics with Joel, Tobias and tyrese?”
