LeBron took a sip of a Sixers fan’s wine in the middle of a game
LeBron James took a sip of a Sixers fan’s wine in the middle of a game on Monday night in Philadelphia. Year 24, and he is still finding new ways to end up on every timeline in America.
The moment came in the third quarter against the Bulls. A reporter sitting courtside confirmed with the fan afterward that the cup in his hand was wine, not water, not soda. Wine.
Asked about it after the game, LeBron kept the review short.
“It was alright.”
The Sixers won 126 to 107, with Tyrese Maxey leading everyone at 26 points and 11 assists. LeBron’s wine verdict still walked out of the building as the story of the night.
There is history here. Back in the 2017 playoffs, LeBron grabbed a beer from a courtside attendant, held it up for the cameras, and joked that he would have taken a sip if it had been red wine. Nine years later, a Philly fan finally had the right drink in his hand.
