Paije Speights reacts to James Harden's viral statement about NBA

James Harden is one of the generational talents in the NBA who has changed the game. While Harden was still with the Rockets, he emerged as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. Harden not only crafted new ways to score, but he also became lethal in drawing fouls from opponents.

This new trend of drawing fouls forced the NBA to draft new rules. In reaction to players drawing fouls by intentional contact with the defender, the league decided to not count it as a foul on the defender.

When a reporter asked James Harden about his adjustment to these rules, he had a savage reply.

"I'm one of the people that the NBA had to adjust to. So, just being in here, being crafty, working on it, loving it," Harden told the reporter.

The Clippers' star girlfriend Paije Speights reacted to the viral video with just one word.

"Mood," she wrote in the caption in the repost on her IG story.

Last season, the Clippers had four superstar players on the roster. Before they entered the 2024-25 season, Paul George signed with the Philadelphia 76ers and Russell Westbrook has now joined the Denver Nuggets. With the new roster, Harden and Kawhi Leonard will have a new challenge to keep the Clippers among the top contenders in the West.

James Harden remains one of the best guards in the league. However, in the last few seasons, he has not played with the urgency to score. With PG and Westbrook gone, Harden might have to take bigger responsibility.
