James Harden and Kevin Durant will both be first-ballot Hall of Famers.

The two superstars have also been teammates with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Brooklyn Nets.

Recently, Harden made a post to Instagram from a recent workout with Durant.

His post had over 100,000 likes and 600 comments in less than 24 hours.

Luca Evans of The O.C. Register reported more details about the workout.

Via Evans: "USC assistant Will Conroy working out + coaching up Kevin Durant, James Harden, Dalen Terry, Chet Holmgren. Pretty cool to see"

Harden was the third pick in the 2009 NBA Draft out of Arizona State.

He spent the first three years of his career in Oklahoma City (with Durant), and they reached the 2012 NBA Finals.

Following the Thunder, he played nine years with the Houston Rockets.
