James Harden Makes Big Announcement

In this story:
LA Clippers star James Harden is one of the NBA’s most individually accomplished active players, but he also had a lot of different pursuits off the court - including his J-Harden Wines brand.
Per the website for Harden’s wine, the star guard says, “If you are new to wine or an experienced enthusiast, I believe that you will love these wines as much as I do.”
Harden first announced his wine in 2022, and it has continued to grow in popularity since. In an Instagram post on Monday, Harden announced the exciting news that his wine just got added in 15,000 7-Eleven stores.
Including his viral meme on the second slide of the Instagram post, Harden added some humor for this announcement. The screenshot of his facial expression is from a recent viral video when Harden’s girlfriend caught the bouquet at a wedding the two were at.
