The US-based specialty athletic retailer, announced that NBA star shooting guard James Harden will engage with Foot Locker fans for Play My Tweet, an new social media initiative. Since the 24th of September, fans can submit personal requests for James Harden via Twitter by tagging @FootLocker and #PlayMyTweet for the chance to have him fulfill a request. Whether it's sending a fan an autographed jersey or singing Happy Birthday someone, all legitimate requests will be considered.
