LeBron would prefer red wine for next mid-game bottle grab
It wasn't just that LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, it was that the King barely even broke a sweat.
The entire Cavaliers squad was bubbling with confidence as they spent most of Monday night competing among themselves for whoever could make the best highlight, since the victory over Toronto was all but assured by the second quarter.
Look no further than when James contemplated sipping a beer he borrowed off a courtside attendant in the third quarter.

"I was upset at myself because I had the and-one opportunity and I didn't finish. I left it short," James explained of the incident. "My momentum just took me to the sideline and I'm not gonna run over our beer lady and she had one in her hand so I took it out her hand."
"I'm not much of a beer guy. If she had some red wine I definitely would have taken a sip," James said with a laugh.
The King finished the night with 35 points and 10 rebounds as the Cavs easily took Game 1. The only adjustment they need to make going forward is getting James' drink order right.
