LeBron James’ Bottle of Wine Under His Seat at Celtics-Cavs Led to Lots of Jokes

LeBron James was in a familiar place Monday night, sitting courtside in Cleveland for Game 4 of the Celtics-Cavs series, which Boston won to take a 3-1 lead.
James, of course, started his legendary career with his hometown Cavs and then later returned to lead the franchise to its first-ever NBA title in 2016 when they came back from down 3-1 to beat Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
James had quite the setup at his nice seat on Monday night, as fans noticed he had some water, what looked like a coffee cup, and an entire bottle of wine within reach.
Check this out:

Opus One? He’s throwing more money away than Rob Pelinka during free agency.
