Reigning NBA MVP James Harden held his second annual charity celebrity softball game Saturday and hip-hop superstar Travis Scott stole the show by crushing a home run.
The game, hosted the Houston Rockets guard, was one of a handful of weekend events held to raise money for Harden’s 3TheHardenWay foundation — a Friday comedy show and Sunday celebrity basketball game were the other main attractions.
Harden was among those to capture Scott’s moment on camera.

Scott hit the dinger (they were using aluminum bats so it was literally a dinger) and, as you can see from the angle below, completed a nice cartwheel after rounding third.

The skyshot sent the outfielders Way Back and gave the audience Goosebumps as the ball flew into the Astroworld. Scott is merely A Man but unconfirmed reports suggested the ball travelled upwards of 3500 feet.
Yeah, Yeah, Scott’s form might not have been perfect and he was about a foot in front of home plate when he made contact, but it would seem he’s in the Upper Echelon of celebrity softball players.
Overall, everyone seemed to have a Hell Of A Night.
NBA stars DeMar DeRozan, Chris Paul, John Wall, Donovan Mitchell, the Morris twins, TV personality Draya Michele and rapper Meek Mill were among those scheduled to take part in Harden’s charity weekend.
