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.
