Following his bold move, some netizens thought that he had shown up for the Sunday match drunk
“Ain’t no way Lebron isn’t drunk for his 18th all star game #tequila@KingJames,”read a tweet by Wisolytics.
“Just had to explain to my 4 year old about alcoholism. He asked me “Does LeBron James have a drinking problem? Why does he need to have tequila with him at work?” I was absolutely stunned. Almost broke down because there is no good answer,” another tweet read.
Earlier this month, Lebron donned all his championship rings, four of them, as he held a bottle of Lobos tequila to promote the brand.
According to sources, a bottle of the Lobos tequila goes for $160 which amounts to about Kshs 18, 192.
The basketballer, together with partners including Maverick Carter, Rich Paul, and Anthony Davis launched the Tequila brand in November 2020.
Lebron, a professional NBA-player and entrepreneur from Akron, Ohio, was the star guard of NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers before leaving for Los Angeles’ Lakers as a free agent in 2019.
Lebron is the richest active player of the National Basketball Association(NBA). Throughout his career, he has built a net worth estimated to be $440 million (approximately Ksh.50 billion). However, former basketballer Michael Jordan is the richest among all players of the game.
