LeBron James decided it was Miller Time on Monday night long before the end of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff game against the Toronto Raptors.

James didn’t actually drink a beer late in the third quarter, but he acted like he was going to do it. And with his team up by 16 at that point, James probably could have clocked out and enjoyed a cold one without affecting the outcome of the game.

After drawing a foul under the basket, James’ momentum took him toward the sideline, where he grabbed beer from a concession server’s hand and acted as if he was about to take a drink before handing the bottle back.

“I’m not a beer guy,” said James, who scored 35 points during the Cavaliers’ 116-105 victory. “If she had some red wine I would have probably taken a sip.”
