Malone Jr. says alleged attack stemmed from Harden criticism
Four men have been charged by Houston Police in relation to an alleged assault and robbery last month of the son of late NBA legend Moses Malone.
In a further twist, Moses Malone Jr. said the attack outside a Houston strip club stemmed from a Facebook post he made that was critical of Rockets star James Harden.

The four men - Darian Blount, Kavon Boutte, Oscar Wattell, and Deavion Lewis - have been charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon after police said Malone Jr. was beaten and robbed of about $50,000 worth of jewelry, according to KPRC Houston. The men allegedly cited the comments about Harden during the incident.
