On Monday morning, superstar guard James Harden of the Philadelphia 76ers sent shockwaves throughout the NBA world after he went at Daryl Morey in a very public way.
During a media event in China for Adidas, Harden uncharacteristically blasted Morey by calling him a “liar” and saying that he’ll never be part of an organization that the veteran executive is a part of.
Although there has been a lot of speculation about tension between Harden and Morey, despite having a great prior relationship during their time together with the Houston Rockets, it appears this is worse than expected, with the one-time NBA MVP going out of his way to bash Morey.
With Harden making a point of this video going viral and making the statement as straightforward as possible by saying it twice, the news spread quickly on social media and has sparked a reaction from fellow superstar Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks.

It’s unclear if Young is siding with Harden or Morey on this one, but the fact he acknowledges that this is a business may mean he’s tipping his cap to the latter.
Harden should know how the business works all too well at this point, as he’s no stranger to these situations, with the superstar guard being traded multiple times and being the one to request a trade on more than one occasion.
This time around, it doesn’t seem to be working out the way Harden had anticipated, and he’s taking it out on Morey, who has defended the veteran guard on more than one occasion.
