Shannon Sharpe was able to get his hands on one of the commemorative edition bottle's of tequila that Avión put out in Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s name this past summer, and after letting it sit on the shelf for seven months, he finally decided to break the seal on Wednesday night, March 21. To what did the Undisputed host owe the honor? LeBron James' historic performance against the Toronto Raptors, he says.
"Now, I had no plans of breaking this out unless it was a very special occasion. And on a Wednesday night, I can't think [sic] anything's special. But LeBron James - what he just did to them baby dinosaurs..." Sharpe said in a recording that he posted to Instagram after enjoying the game from the confines of his home.
Per usual, the Pro Football Hall of Fame star rocked a skully and pulled out a Black and Mild for the video. After showing off the rare Avión Reserva 44 Extra Añejo selection and alluding to having been one of the 150 people in the world who were able to put $1,500 down fast enough to cop it prior to the Conor McGregor fight, he got a little more specific about how inspired he had to be to get him to that point.
"When LeBron James dropped 35 points and had the most assists without a turnover in NBA history... I think I'm bout to pour me some of this Floyd Money Mayweather," he said.
