Four-time NBA champs LeBron James and Draymond Green have had numerous heated battles on the court. However, the two have always maintained a very cordial and professional relationship. Not only are they really good friends, but they are business partners as well. James and Green have invested in Lobos 1707, a popular tequila brand along with some other NBA stars and investors from across the world.

Recently, the official handle of the drink posted an interesting reel that drew responses from James and Green. Safe to say, their honesty about their drinking might worry thousands of Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors fans.

LeBron James and Draymond Green get honest about drinking plans

Tequila is the go-to drink for numerous NBA stars in the league. LeBron James, Draymond Green, and Anthony Davis have taken their love for the drink one step further by investing in Lobos 1707, a popular tequila brand.

Recently, the official account of the drink posted an Instagram reel as a story showing a number of Tequila bottles fresh out of the factory. James and Green were tagged and asked, “Will this be enough for this summer” to which they replied very honestly.

James wrote “Nope!! Need more” while Draymond Green wrote “Need a lot more” on their Instagram stories. With the NBA postseason right around the corner, LeBron and Green might need to cut down on their drinking!

The Lakers and the Warriors’ playoff berths are still in danger

Although the Warriors and the Lakers are both in contention for a playoff currently, it may quickly change. With just a handful of games remaining in the regular season, both teams need to lace up. The Lakers are 8th while the Warriors are 6th in the Western Conference.

James is back from a major injury and will be key to his team’s future. They have a tricky run of games leading up to the playoffs as they face teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Clippers.

On the other hand, the Warriors have a relatively easier schedule ahead of them. However, any slacking – including binging on drinks! – might result in missing out on the playoffs for the 2022 NBA champions.
