LeBron James is living his best life. Since injuring his groin on Christmas day, the Lakers star has been making the most of his time off, after it was revealed that he would miss the next few games. He's tweeted about his most anticipated movies, won a prestigious award, and quietly recruited potential future teammates.

But the surest sign that King James has been enjoying his time away from the court came on Friday night, ahead of his team's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Cameras caught James pulling up to the Staples Center with a glass of wine in his hand.

Fine, so we don't know for certain what was in James' glass, but based on the color of the liquid, and James' self-professed love of god's sweet nectar, all bets are on it being a smooth glass of Merlot. Or Shiraz. Or—well, you get the point. 

As is usually the case with everything he does, social media erupted at the sight of LeBron and his adult beverage.

LeBron walking in with a glass of wine is probably the sickest thing I’ve ever seen an injured guy do.

Keep in mind this man forces his children to guzzle wine. Child services needs to investigate this. It appears Lebron has a serious drinking problem. Not funny stuff. Not about the blog. He Needs help. https://t.co/3oMX3tJUao

Some people criticized James' habit, which drew criticism after he revealed that his young children have also imbibed. 

This is disrespectful. ⁦@KingJames⁩, you are not bigger than the NBA or the Lakers. I hope you don’t cry when you fall off the fake throne you built.
