LeBron James took a hydration break during Monday’s game against the Chicago Bulls that definitely wasn’t on the official team menu. Chasing a loose ball into the stands, King James ran right into fan Troy Clemons holding a cup of wine. What happened next? LeBron helped himself to a sip. Yeah, you read that right.
The Mid-Game Sip That Went Viral
That’s one way to rehydrate, huh? Clemons later spilled the tea on the hilarious interaction. He confirmed James did spill a little bit of wine on him, but said LeBron was totally apologetic. And Clemons? He wasn’t even mad. “I’m just glad for him to be here,” he said, adding, “I’m not worried about the wine getting on me.” Talk about a chill reaction to getting wine-splashed by an NBA legend mid-game!
“Threw the Cup in the Trash”
You’d think after LeBron James himself took a swig from your cup, that thing would be headed straight for a display case. A souvenir for the ages, right? Nope, not for Troy Clemons. The fan had zero interest in keeping it. “At the end of the day, he’s another man like me,” Clemons explained. “He’s LeBron, but at the end of the day, I threw the cup in the trash.” Just like that, a piece of NBA history, straight into the bin. You gotta respect that level of casualness.
