LeBron James nearly gave us the greatest moment in sports history in Monday.
We can confidently say that thousands of people at Quicken Loans Arena on Monday are enjoying a beer or two. James very nearly joined them.
With the Cleveland Cavaliers comfortably ahead, LeBron narrowly missed a layup that would have given him and and-1 attempt. When running towards the sidelines, he spotted a person carrying a beer and thought, what the heck, why not?
LeBron James (@KingJames) was really tempted to take a quick drink of a beer during the game. Seems to be enjoying himself. #DefendtheLand pic.twitter.com/OmSzR0cuxm

LeBron has certainly earned the right to drink a cold one or two — especially in Cleveland.
Next time, though, go all out. If you’re going to grab a beer, chug it Stone Cold Steve Austin style.
