LeBron slayed by Ellen in "drinking game" challenge on her show
WWOS staff
If you thought Lebron James would be working on his jump shot six weeks out from the NBA season, think again.
The three-time NBA champion made an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show where he was challenged to play basketball using paper balls and two wastebaskets sitting on robotic vacuum cleaners.
Both Ellen and Lebron had to get the paper balls in the wastebasket while it moved around.
Every time Ellen made a shot, LeBron had to drink a shot of "vodka"; every time LeBron missed a shot, Ellen had to do the same.
The drinking match ended up being pretty close and included some overly dramatic reactions to the “vodka” shots.
Ellen won the shootout, 3-2, and LeBron took four shots of “vodka” in about 90 seconds.
