No one is standing with Daryl Morey even the people who he has stood for so long.
The Rockets, the NBA and now even James Harden has essentially thrown him under the bus because they don’t want to mess up their money in China.
Here is what Harden had to say.
Harden spoke while standing with teammate Russell Westbrook at a practice in Tokyo on Monday, three days after Morey posted a now-deleted tweet that read: “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong.”
“We apologize. You know, we love China. We love playing there,” Harden said. “For both of us individually, we go there once or twice a year. They show us the most important love.”
“We appreciate them as a fan base,” Harden said. “We love everything there about them, and we appreciate the support that they give us individually and as [an] organization.”
