James Harden has donated $1 million to assist in the Hurricane Harvey relief effort. 

"Obviously, the city is devastated," Harden said. "We have to push forward. We have to find a way to get through it. We have to find a way to help the community out as much as possible. Reached out to the mayor. We wanted to help out and make sure we get the help where it needed to be."

Harden joined the Houston Rockets in 2012 and is one of the biggest sports stars of the city.

"This is home for me," Harden told media at the convention center. "I wanted to say thank you to J.J. Watt for what he's doing for the city. Thank you to the mayor for helping me. I just want to donate and give back to the community as much as I can.

"I'm going to donate $1 million to the city and areas that need it and people that need it to make the city stronger and put smiles on some faces."

Harden also said on Twitter that he'll never leave the Rockets.
