James Harden may wanna consider laying low from the strip club scene for awhile. Harden is currently on the club therapy tour after the Rockets lost game 7 of round 2 of the playoffs to the Spurs by 39 points, but this doesn’t sound too good.
Moses Malone Jr is suing Harden claiming that he masterminded a robbery against Malone because of one of Malone’s Facebook posts according to Sports Illustrated.
Malone, the son of Hall of Famer and former Rockets center Moses Malone, was beaten and robbed of $15,000 to $50,000 in jewelry at a Houston strip club in June.
Malone’s suit alleges that Harden paid the robbers $20,000 to attack him after Harden became upset over Malone’s Facebook post about Harden’s basketball camp.
“The post basically referenced the fact that James Harden was charging $250 for a basketball camp,” Malone’s lawyer, George Farah, told ABC-13 News in July.
Four men have already been charged in the case. One of the men charged, Darian Blount, told Malone during the attack that he “disrespected James Harden and that he needs to be punished after that,” according to a criminal complaint.
Malone also filed a suit against the club in August seeking $1 million in damages.
No charges have been brought against Harden, but that doesn’t mean that Malone can’t win the civil suit.
