We didn’t say LeBron James drank the beer, but he definitely grabbed a bottle of the stuff and gave it a thought in the middle of the Cavaliers’ Game 1 blowout of the Toronto Raptors.
James found his way into the vicinity of the beer bottle when he left an and-one opportunity a tad bit short. Frustrated over the missed shot after being fouled, a beer vendor walked past James, who decided to grab it.
After giving it a look-see, he either he wasn’t feeling it.
“I’m not much of a beer guy,” James said.
Probably the best decision to abstain, at least in the eyes of the league office.
Teammate J.R. Smith found the series hilarious, and so did the internet.
Considering the score of the game, the beer gaffe, of course, turned into a story about LeBron disrespecting the Raptors, who didn’t have the best showing in the opener of the second-round series.
It probably wasn’t about that.
Either way, James playing at a best-on-the-planet level can do what he wants.
Lebron: hold my beer
Only person in history to have something good happen after saying that #mvp #DefendtheLand

LeBron pretending to drink a beer during the middle of a playoff game. It's almost as if the Raptors don't worry him… at all.

Imagine feeling so confident in your control of a professional sporting event that you just go, “Hey, here’s a blog post, guys. Enjoy."

Kobe fans: "Kobe would have chugged that beer"
Lebron fans: "Yeah then would have taken 87 shots to get it in the trashcan" #nbaplayoffs— Michael (@MRudolphComedy) May 2, 2017
Could the Cavs win if LeBron played with one hand holding a beer the whole time?

That beer bottle LeBron grabbed and pretended to drink should be sent to the Hall of Fame today.
