LeBron James had some trolling done to him courtesy of the Chicago Bulls' iconic mascot Benny the Bull during the Philadelphia 76ers' contest on Sunday evening.
James is going through the 24th season of his legendary NBA career, his first with the 76ers. He looks to compete for at least one more championship before finally hanging up his jersey into unforgettable NBA history.
James has been remarkably productive in his 40s as Philadelphia is benefitting with a strong start to the season. That won't stop opponents from making jokes about him, especially not the mascots.
Benny the Bull decided to make jokes about James during the 76ers' starting lineup intros. The mascot brought a wine cart to the court that featured cups with wine, offering it to James and Philadelphia players.
Glass of wine, LeBron James? 🍷
