James Harden Now Part Owner Of Houston's Pro Soccer Teams

James Harden is setting his sights on professional soccer - as an owner, not a player.

The Rockets superstar has purchased a stake in the MLS' Houston Dynamo and the NWSL's Houston Dash, as well as BBVA Stadium, where both teams play.

Harden called the investment "a way to invest in my city" and said Houston has "a massive soccer fanbase". Boxer Oscar De La Hoya is also part of the Dynamo/Dash ownership group.
