James Harden stopped, ticketed by police in China while riding a scooter

Houston Rockets superstar James Harden has been in China the past week and was cruising with friends on motor scooters when he was stopped by local police.

TMZ Sports obtained a photo of Harden on a red scooter being stopped by police, who issued him a ticket — presumably for going too fast or breaking another traffic law.

He and his friends were allowed to leave, so it obviously wasn’t a major infraction.

Per TMZ Sports, Harden is in China doing promotional work for Adidas. He has met with fans at Beijing University of Technology and held a youth basketball clinic in Guangzhou.
