James Harden’s favorite plays have long been the step-back three and the drive that gets him to the free throw line, but now he has a third: the bomb thrown at management. Hey, as the great ones get older, they expand their game. Harden detonated his way out of Houston. Then he forced his way out of Brooklyn. Now he is trying to get out of Philadelphia, which is why he told an audience in China, in comments recorded on video:
“Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”
Harden, who is famously reluctant to pick up his dribble, then said: “Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of."
