A year and a half ago, Moses Malone Jr, son of NBA legend and royalty, Moses Malone, was assaulted and robbed at then-Houston hot spot , the gentleman’s club, V-Live.

The assault and robbery was an alleged order from Houston Rockets’ frontman, James Harden. Malone Jr. believed Harden set the attack up after he called Harden out on social media about charging inner city youth for a basketball camp. Since then, Malone Jr. has filed a civil suit against the Rockets star.

While the civil suit works its way through the judicial system, the criminal case against Darian Blount, the alleged ring leader of Malone Jr’s assault , was set for trial for December 4th. According to Texas law regarding culpability, all persons involved in a crime whether directly or indirectly will face the same penalties. For 40-year-old Blount, his fate was sealed on Thursday. After being convicted for allegedly orchestrating the armed robbery and beating of Malone, Blount will spend 35 years behind bars.

As the criminal proceedings continue, the plot thickens. “It has come to light that James Harden paid Blount approximately $20,000 to put a hit on Moses.” Harden’s attorney , Rusty Hardin, maintains those allegations are false.

The next defendant that will stand trial is Oscar Wattel.
