Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James violated protocol by attending event, NBA says

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was found to be in breach of the NBA's health and safety protocols this week, a league spokesperson told ESPN on Friday night.

James won't be suspended, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, as the nature of the event didn't rise to a threat level of virus spread.

James was one of several high-profile guests present at a promotional event for a tequila brand he backs earlier this week before the Lakers' play-in game against the Golden State Warriors.

The tequila was poured at a brief outdoor photo shoot, and invitees, including recording artist Drake and actor Michael B. Jordan, had to produce proof of vaccination or a recent negative test result in order to attend.

The thing about tequila, is that cheap tequila is awful, even camarena and hornitos imo. The cheapest stuff I find acceptable is tradicional by JQ. The reposado is pretty decent. I dont drink blanco.

I don't drink much, but once in a great while I'll pour an once of Patron Silver and sip it for an hour.
The botlle is 6 or 7 years old & is still 60% full, so it really is once in a great while.
Same with the cognac & 18 year old Glenmorangie.
The former of those is half-full, 10 years old, and I've used half of that for cooking.
Anyway, I'm one of those weirdos that does like tequila for the taste.
