With a few days off and the Thanksgiving festivities in full effect, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James decided to have a “wine night” on Saturday. His teammate, four-time All Star Kevin Love, couldn’t resist giving the King, a known connoisseur of all things vino, a hard time on social media.
James, now 33 years of age and in his 15th season of NBA service, posted a picture of several empty wine bottles to his Instagram account. The value of said bottles ranged, but they’re worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. In his caption, James issued a friendly warning to those who might take his affinity for fermented grape juice lightly.
👑Last night was mad real, fresh out of Advil- Jesus grab the wheel👑Sheesh!!! You had to be there to truly Understand. Even though I wish you were there so u could. #VinoChronicles🍷 P.S. don’t talk to me about wine like u know it if you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Seriously! Thank you! 😉👍🏾🤣🤷🏾♂️
