The NBA will forever be in awe of the all-time highest scorer in NBA history. Despite his countless achievements on the court, some still throw shade at LeBron James. Nevertheless, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar hardly cares about others’ opinions after completing 20 years in the league, and would rather respond with love than harsh words. In a similar turn of events, the four-time NBA Champion put a smile on the face of an ex-Warrior star with a delightful surprise.

At this point, LeBron James has become pretty used to criticism thrown his way on a daily basis. As NBA’s highest scorer is no longer a 20-year-old young man, he knows how to tackle such comments and win his critics over. An ex-Golden State Warriors star was similarly floored by King James’ actions with a very precious gift.

James, who turned 38 just a few months ago, has more or less achieved what he set out to as an 18-year-old with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hence, King James has branched out his interests into a lot more things, other than demolishing teams every time he’s on the court. The four-time NBA Champion has invested in a lot of businesses, one of which includes a popular tequila brand. Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal was launched in 2020 with King James as an early backer.?

In a recent Instagram story, Gilbert Arenas, the former Golden State Warriors star, showed off a customized bottle of the Lobos 1707 Tequila that was sent to him by King James himself. The bottle was engraved with “No Chill Gill” on it, referring to Arenas’ popular pseudonym and his podcast, No Chill with Gilbert Arenas. The gorgeous bottle was just the icing on the cake, as Arenas surely enjoyed the smooth spirit.

The gift came just a few days after Arenas commented on how LeBron James’ ‘fear factor’ was relatively less than players like Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, or Michael Jordan. Nevertheless, Arenas’ words didn’t affect King James as he send the former star the sleek, engraved bottle.?
