After dropping 38 points in the Rockets' win over the Bucks in Houston on Wednesday night, James Harden took the game ball, signed it and walked over to a woman sitting courtside. He handed her the ball as he sat down next to her. They chatted for a few moments and smiled for a photo.

That woman had just turned 100 years old and Harden wanted to be sure to do something special for her. He told Doris Burke:

"Today is her 100th birthday. It's a blessing. She's excited. She's sitting on the court. She's just smiling over there. I had to go give her the game ball and go tell her how blessed she is and how blessed I am for meeting her."

Watching your team win, chatting with the star player and getting a signed game ball is not a bad way to celebrate your birthday.
