As we all know, Chrissy Teigen is a national treasure who should be protected at all costs. I adore her for many reasons—like her epic social media trolling moments and her real talks about everything from parenting to body image. But one of my favorite things about Teigen is her ability to unwittingly go viral every time she attends a public event. Remember when she got hit in the face with an umbrella on a New Year’s Eve telecast? Or how about when she seemingly dozed off at the 2017 Oscars? I’m eternally grateful for these moments.
And now we have a new one to add to the list. It all went down last night at a Miami Heat basketball game in Florida: Teigen showed up courtside with husband John Legend and actress Gabrielle Union to watch Union’s husband, Dwyane Wade, play in his final regular season home game before retiring. At one point during the game, Wade ended up in the laps of Teigen and Legend, and the photo (by Charles Trainer Jr. for the Miami Herald) is simply perfection. Just look at those facial expressions!
Naturally, Teigen had a witty response to the photo, calling it a “Renaissance painting.” She also said it was “an honor” to be crashed into by Wade.
Everyone had a good laugh about the whole thing. One fan tweeted, “This kind of shit seems to always happen to you lol. First the New Year’s umbrella and now this.”
Naturally, people are turning this viral moment into a slew of hilarious memes:
This wasn’t the only fun moment at the game, which kicked off with a celebration of Wade’s career. Union got in on the action by playfully grabbing her husband’s butt at one point:
And then there was a sweet moment with the night’s other big star, Union and Wade’s baby daughter, Kaavia James Union Wade:
Perhaps all retiring players should invite Chrissy Teigen to their final game. They’ll be pretty much guaranteed an amazing viral moment.
