LeBron James and Justin Timberlake are buddies, because very talented and famous people tend to want to hang out with other very talented and famous people who have similar interests.
In this case, LeBron is a huge fan of music (all kinds of music, but mostly hip-hop), and Timberlake is a big sports fan (especially basketball, where he has a minority stake in the Grizzlies). So, the two have naturally become friends. That friendship was on display over the past few days with Timberlake hanging out courtside for Cavs-Pelicans on Friday in Cleveland before his show at Quicken Loans Arena on Saturday night.
James and Timberlake were caught on camera having a shirt-over-mouth conversation, the details of which LeBron refused to share after the Cleveland win.
On Saturday, LeBron returned the favor by going to Timberlake’s show with some of his Cavs teammates, and at the end of the night James hopped on stage with JT for an impromptu toast with some shots.

Timberlake, who was rocking black-and-white LeBron 15 “Equality” sneakers, pulled the curtain back a bit on the topic of their hidden conversation, saying he was asking James what he was going to do with the Cavs locked in a tight game. LeBron ultimately led Cleveland to a five-point win with 27 points and a near triple double.
As for what they’re drinking there, your guess is as good as mine. Cavs fans shouldn’t be too worried about James’ possible late night on Saturday because, while Cleveland does have a game on Sunday, they’re hosting the lowly Mavs.
