The NBA offseason is a great way for NBA stars to reach out to their fans. Since the game has gone global for many decades, this has become a healthy practice. The offseason’s dullness is somehow negated by fan bases around the globe. Basketball camps, accompanied by a vacation, make for a fascinating combo. In this vein, James Harden has also treated his fanbase with great memories. His chill mode is in full swing these days.
Therefore, his China tour has brought brilliant moments and a lot of comedy too. He has also made his thoughts about the Philadelphia 76ers’ manager clear.

Just recently, the Beard showed his unique sense of style again. Although scooters are banned in China, the incredible scoring phenom arrived in China on a scooter. Upon his arrival, thousands of fans flocked to him just to take a look. This exhilarating experience was followed by an intense one.
The Guard then engaged in an intense training camp and many aspiring hoopers learned their lesson. Meanwhile, the Guard is teaching sterner lessons to his 76ers squad. He went all the way to China and criticized the Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Daryl Morey.
During his presser after the evening basketball camp in the Red Dragon nation, the 2018 NBA MVP ripped into Morey. He said, “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of”. He repeated this statement for emphasis.

Since the beginning of free agency, the Guard had made it clear he would not return for the 76ers. He wants a trade and his favorite suitor appears to be the Los Angeles Clippers. This situation has been difficult for the 76ers, which looked serious about bringing him back. Their owner, Josh Allen, personally went to a Fourth of July party to convince him after all.
A day after his fiery comments, he is now entertaining fans. The former Rockets Guard had a lot of fun during a dance session.
Fans groove to Harden’s beat
In a Twitter video by NBA Central, Harden is trying to match the steps of a dancer. The dancer is, of course, timing her moves well and knows the beat in and out. Meanwhile, Harden neither has the training nor preparation, so he just ends up doing random moves. As the video cuts, he laughs his heart out after the whole thing ends. In response, fans interpret these moves in different molds.
A fan connected this to the Daryl Morey situation. They write, “He’s doing a victory dance on Daryl Morey“
