Johsi started following James Harden after playing NBA 2K11, where he found Harden's in-game moves, like crossovers and step-backs, particularly impressive. Despite not being a basketball fan initially, Harden's skills in the game caught his attention.
Johsi's first experience meeting James Harden was during Harden's China tour in 2017 in Guangzhou. He won a lottery on the basketball forum Hupu to attend a 3v3 game where Harden was present. Although he got close to getting Harden's signature, he was pushed back by the crowd and missed the opportunity.
During the 2018 China tour, Johsi attended an event in Beijing where he bought a yellow ticket from a scalper for 1000 RMB. He tried to get Harden's signature by waiting near the elevator, but he didn't stay long enough and missed the chance when Harden passed by.
Johsi's most memorable moment was during the 2023 China tour in Shanghai. He managed to get a spot in the event by purchasing Harden's signature shoes. Although he didn't get a signature, he got close to Harden and even appeared on the big screen during the event.
Johsi decided to travel to the US to see Harden play because he felt it was a personal regret not having watched an NBA game during his two years of studying in Boston. He combined the trip with a proposal to his long-time girlfriend, making it a memorable journey.
Johsi watched Harden play in Los Angeles at the new Intuit Dome, which he described as incredibly modern and high-tech. He was impressed by the large, high-definition screen and the efficient facilities, though he noted that the Clippers' fan base is smaller compared to the Lakers. Harden's team lost the game, which dampened the experience.
Johsi's strategy involved buying tickets through various channels, including scalpers and official events, and trying to get close to Harden during events. He also prepared multiple items for Harden to sign and even tried to network with influencers and bloggers to increase his chances.
Johsi's perception of Harden evolved from simply admiring his basketball skills to appreciating his personality and style. Despite Harden's declining performance on the court, Johsi's admiration grew, especially after attending multiple events and seeing Harden's interactions with fans.
Johsi faced numerous challenges, including missing out on signatures due to crowd pressure, being scammed by scalpers, and failing to secure spots in exclusive events. Despite his efforts, he only managed to get one signed item through a friend's help after multiple attempts.
Johsi's most creative attempt was during the 2018 China tour in Beijing, where he waited in an elevator for Harden, hoping for a chance encounter. Although he didn't succeed, it was a bold move that showcased his dedication to getting Harden's signature.
