Viral incident of James Harden's girlfriend catching the wedding bouquet

During Rondo's wedding last Friday in Lake Como, Italy, James Harden appeared surprised when his girlfriend seemingly caught the wedding bouquet. X user Athlete Luxury (@AthletesLux) shared the video.

Paije Speights reacted to the viral moment on her Instagram story and explained what happened:

"I wasn't even participating lol," Speights posted. "I'm standing outside the circle in the back. The bouquet landed right at my feet. Hey a win is a win."

She immediately looked back at her Clippers star boyfriend and laughed at his reaction. While Speights considered it a win, Harden hasn't addressed or responded to the viral video with his reaction being used as a meme by fans.

Even the NBA analysts on ESPN's "Get Up" had a brief segment to react to the clip.

Be that as it may, Speights seemed to have enjoyed that incident, despite not even intending to catch it in the first place as she wasn't participating.
