Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden has taken over the internet for the past few days; and for good reason. After all, he publicly accused the 76ers president of being a ‘liar’ during an Adidas promotional event in China. While numerous voices from across the NBA world have criticized the 2018 NBA MVP for his antics, Harden seems to be enjoying his time there. From riding a scooter to a basketball game to interacting with popular Chinese influencers, Harden has done it all.

His latest accomplishment just goes on to show Harden’s popularity in China. During a live stream, he sold a huge number of his own wine in a matter of seconds, leaving him stunned.

James Harden sells out his wine in seconds

The 10-time NBA All-Star’s future is currently in the air. After his latest explosive accusations against Morey, it looks like his time with the 76ers and 2023 MVP Joel Embiid is all but over.

The bad blood between Harden and Morey started with Morey’s reluctance to give the 33-year-old a long-term contract. In case both parties agreed, The Beard would have signed a 4-year $210 million deal, according to Spotrac.
