With Cinco De Mayo and Taco Tuesday each landing on the same day this week, many athletes took the chance to celebrate the day on social media. Lonzo Ball was one of those active on Instagram, uploading a series of videos to his Instagram story.
The stories showed Ball with friend Anthony Salazar enjoying some Mexican cuisine on Tuesday.
The first video tags LeBron James, Ball’s former Laker teammate. James himself has been an avid and popular partaker in Taco Tuesday and he certainly participated in Tuesday’s edition on Cinco De Mayo.
If you thought LeBron wasn't going to acknowledge Taco Tuesday on Cinco de Mayo just because we're all quarantined, think again pic.twitter.com/5yV49vGS5q

James also shared the Instagram story Ball tagged him in on his own Instagram story as well.
Ball and James have remained close since the former was dealt from Los Angeles to New Orleans. Most memorably, Ball appeared at Zion Williamson’s Summer League debut and embraced James on his way to his seat, showing the strong bond the two had built during their season together with the Lakers.
