James Harden's Halloween nightmare: Michael Myers was the last person he saw before trade to Clipper
James Harden will be sleeping in a new bed following his blockbuster trade to the Los Angeles Clippers that ended his public spat with the Philadelphia 76ers.
But he might still have nightmares about Philly when his head hits the pillow, thanks to this viral encounter at the 76ers' home opener, which saw him face off with the Halloween villain himself, Michael Myers.

Harden did not play in the Sixers 126-98 win over the Portland Trailblazers, but he attended the game with his teammates after not traveling for the first two games on the road.
With no opponents to face on the court, he was met by a fan, dressed as Michael Myers from the movie Halloween, who was holding up a sign with an ominous message.
"Bring me Harden!"
Why did James Harden call his team president a liar?
He caught the attention of the Clippers new guard, who was seen in a viral TikTok video of the moment staring right back at the fan dressed as Myers.
James Harden lands his dream trade to Los Angeles Clippers
Fittingly, the news broke early on the morning of Halloween that Harden was on his way to the Los Angeles Clippers, as Daryl Morey, who Harden called a "liar," worked out a deal that finally got him out of Philadelphia.
The Sixers received Marcus Morris, Robert Covington, Nic Batum and KJ Martin along with four draft picks. In addition to the all-NBA guard, the Clippers got veteran PJ Tucker and Filip Petrusev in the trade, while holding onto Terrance Mann.
It was a spooky ending to James Harden's two unsuccessful seasons with the 76ers, but for Daryl Morey and Philadelphia, it marked the end of a nightmare saga with the unhappy star.
