Gatorade burns Lebron and the Heat with Tweets

@Dolfan23 only problem is Lebron was drinking Gatorade, because that is the official drink of the NBA. He just hides the label or removes it.

You sure? Gatorade's Tweet above says that Lebron prefers to drink something else. And I'm sure if you're the king of the NBA you can choose your drink.

He may be paid by Powerade, but it appeared James was drinking Gatorade at least once during Game 1 of the finals. Video and photos taken of James on the Heat bench during the second half showed him holding what appeared to be a Gatorade bottle with the label removed, as has been the case on many other occasions.

Interesting. I'd guess it didn't have anything to do with Gatorade being the official drink of the NBA though.

Either way the Tweets are still funny.

Gatorade, which has been the official sports drink of the NBA since 1984, making it the league's longest-standing sponsor, has its name on cups, coolers and its product on the podium for every postgame press conference.

While Gatorade took shots at Powerade, whose current tagline using James is "Got what it takes to keep up?," the truth is James actually drinks Gatorade on the bench. He takes the label off and uses blank white towels that don't have the Gatorade logo on them so as not to overtly endorse his competitor
