James Harden and Buddy Hield train on Mykonos during vacation

NBA stars James Harden and Buddy Hield spent part of their summer break on the Greek island of Mykonos. While enjoying the island’s nightlife, Harden was filmed calmly eating at the popular beach club Principote, a scene that quickly went viral on social media.

The two players also used a private indoor gym at the "Άνω Μεράς" facility for individual workouts ahead of the 2026‑27 NBA season. Their training session was observed by young athletes from the local Betsson BC academy, who were given the chance to watch the NBA players practice and take photos with them.

Both visits highlight the trend of top basketball figures combining leisure travel with off‑season preparation in high‑profile tourist destinations.
