Moses Malone, Jr., son of NBA Hall of Famer Moses Malone, was attacked and robbed outside Houston nightclub V Live early Saturday morning, and he believes James Harden was behind the incident.
The younger Malone says that Harden’s entourage beat him up and stole his jewelry at the request of the Rockets guard. According to Malone, the attack was ordered after he criticized Harden in a post on social media for charging too much money to attend his youth basketball camp.
Eyewitness News received a screenshot of Malone’s Facebook post. In it, Malone wrote, “Don’t he make WAY more $ then (sic) Donald Driver???? But, he charging 249$ & the inner city kids have NO CHANCE to go to his camp. Hollywood Harden #Fact.”
Malone said he believes Harden got mad and sent his entourage to beat him up and steal his jewelry. At least four of the men had guns, according to a Houston Police Department spokeswoman.
Malone’s attorney, George Farah, said the stolen David Yurman jewelry was worth about $15,000 and that the club security guards were complicit in the attack.
The club denied any involvement in the attack, saying Malone is a regular there and they would have done everything they could to make sure he was safe. Houston PD is investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made so far.
