NBA fans were in splits after James Harden's recent rant about Daryl Morey. Harden was unhappy with Morey and made his feelings known in an epic speech during a trip to China.
In a video posted by Shams Charania of The Athletic, Harden told fans and reporters in attendance that the Philadelphia 76ers president is a liar. The former MVP made it known that he has no intention to play for the Sixers as long as Morey is employed there.
"Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of," Harden 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."
Trending
Harden's rant came less than a day after ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski had reported that the Philadelphia 76ers ended their trade talks involving the disgruntled star. That's despite Harden's stance that he won't report to training camp and is willing to have a standoff with the franchise.
Fans reacted to Harden's speech online, including on Twitter and Reddit. One fan suggested that it's time for the 10-time All-Star to wear his fat suit to force a trade:
"Release the fat suit!"
One fan showed his support for Harden, who might be doing that on behalf of China:
"This is some CCP propaganda I can support for once."
Another fan was shocked that Harden publicly made a statement about Morey:
"Having a player’s stance come straight from the source publicly like this instead of through the mouth of a media member or an agent is actually insane. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this done before."
Here are other reactions to James Harden calling Daryl Morey a liar:

James Harden wants to get traded to LA Clippers
James Harden opted into his contract next season in hopes of getting traded to the LA Clippers. Harden wants to play with Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, and go back home to Los Angeles.
However, the Clippers were unwilling to meet the Philadelphia 76ers' demand for their second-best player. The Sixers were looking to get some value out of Harden, who will be a free agent next summer.
They want players who can help them contend for a championship while also getting picks as compensation.
The Clippers want to bring Harden into the fold but would not sacrifice their future for a potential one-year rental. With the Sixers likely getting a disgruntled Harden toward training camp, it will be interesting to see if he will be part of the team to start the season.
