LeBron James is adding to his investment portfolio with Lobos 1707, a new tequila and mezcal: 'If it’s organic to who I am or what I’m doing, then it’s a lot easier for me to be a part of something'

Anything—even a glass of tap water—can taste spectacular if you’re sipping it on a yacht.

Basketball star LeBron James, 35, knows this. That’s why he had to take a tequila he fell in love with on a Mediterranean vacation and give it another go back home in the Midwest. “If it tastes great in Akron, Ohio, then I know it’s the right thing,” James says, laughing, of his decision to invest in the new tequila and mezcal brand, Lobos 1707. “I had to make sure it wasn’t the boat in Italy that was getting me.”

The new spirits brand, which launches today, is co-led in investment by Mezorio Spirits, Torch Capital and Main Street Advisors, a group that includes James, his close friend and business partner Maverick Carter and a few other NBA players.

Wake up. They’re trying to get rid of you with your liver. This is pretty low of Lebron. He’s like Trump. Doesn’t care about you. Just your money.

We are the sum of our parts and ready to build a legacy. Available now:

The harder Lebron tries to be cool the stronger his reputation as a douche’ bag becomes real life.

They wasn’t educated on the other tequila

Good to know I won’t be drinking that shit from a racist investor

Only until he finds a better Mezcal brand, then he'll peace out on these guys for the new kids in town.

Fuc* LaBron, sit on his tequila and twirl

He’s a simple fool.

I’m sure he has a big marketing campaign planned for China

Dark liquor will protest this.

Did he pay for this ad as well

Ok

Also: Diversifying into Falun Gong organ harvesting and concentration camps for Muslims. Because LeBron is a true CCP employee.
