Now that Khloe Kardashian and James Harden have taken a break, does the NBA player think he got the 'Kardashian Curse?' James Harden, ever since he started dating the reality star, has been playing less impressively compared to when he was single. An insider close to James Harden says, James is really devoted to getting his game back and reversing his team's slow start. "He was an MVP candidate last year and he is not even close to that right now."

James Harden's fans have been blaming his relationship with Khloe Kardashian as the reason why his game has been declining, and it seems like he's starting to listen to their sentiments. The report says that the basketball player never believed that there was such a thing as the Kardashian Curse, but now that he's not doing well, he might as well believe so. Despite these odd claims by the fans, Khloe quickly refuted these back when they were together and James enjoyed her support throughout the season.

Looks like Khloe Kardashian will be welcoming the New Year as a single lady! After cooling things off with the NBA player, she also decided to cut things off with estranged husband Lamar Odom. Although this might be harder for both of them especially since Lamar is at the hospital for treatment, Khloe thinks that she has been putting too many things about her life on hold -- and she has devoted too much time for her ex. Their pending divorce will still push through once Lamar is released from the hospital, and Khloe Kardashian wants to patch things up with James Harden instead. A source says, "That's why Khloe's had to start the withdrawal process, she's terrified of driving James any further away." If she is a success, then 2016 will be a year full of Khloe and James!
