Court documents were discovered by a reporter of the Houston Chronicle which stated one of the 4 men accused of the attack told Malone he ā€œdisrespected James Harden and that he needs to be punished after that.ā€

The new lawsuit alleges Harden paid a group of people $20K in cash to attack Malone for comments he made on Facebook regarding the Rockets guard’s decision to charge children $250 for summer basketball camp.

Harden’s lawyer Rusty Hardin said, ā€œUnfortunately, I am afraid this is just another example of people shopping for a deep pocket when they find that the people actually responsible have no money.ā€
