Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby recently signed a historic $106.5 million deal, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Crosby signed the three-year extension after playing his sixth season with the Raiders. Throughout his career in Las Vegas, Crosby has been named a four-time Pro Bowler.
Following the news of the historic contract for the NFL star, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden took to social media to send Crosby a message.
"Earned Not Given," Harden said.
Crosby then responded to Harden's social media post, shouting out the Clippers star for his recent performance against the Detroit Pistons.
"My Brother," Crosby said. "EARNED… Just Like That 50 Ball Last Night."
In a recent 123-115 victory over the Pistons, Harden posted 50 points, four rebounds and five assists, leading the Clippers to their 33rd win of the season. Los Angeles currently sits at No. 8 in the Western Conference standings with a 33-29 record.
So far this season, Harden has averaged 22.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game.
