Don't let the final score line fool you, the Raptors Game 1 tilt versus the Cavaliers was essentially a blow out. The Raptors failed to settle into the game from the jump, while the Cavs got so cozy, LeBron James nearly took a sip of a beer mid-game.
The move entertained fans in Cleveland, and understandably drew the ire of fans in Canada, as LeBron's gesture certainly came off as a taunt. So why did LeBron grab the beer int he first place and more importantly, why didn't he sip it? Here's the explanation from the man himself.
Alright, so LeBron made no mention of the fact that his pantomiming move could've been seen as disrespectful, but at least he got to make two jokes out of it, right? Yeah, LeBron's likely getting booed big time when the series moves to the ACC in Game 3. Perhaps he should save the red wine for then.
