Cincoro Tequila, founded in 2019, is a premium spirits brand created by five NBA legends. The ownership group includes Jeanie Buss of the Los Angeles Lakers, Wes Edens of the Milwaukee Bucks, Emilia Fazzalari and Wyc Grousbeck of the Boston Celtics, and NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.
The brand has quickly gained recognition in the spirits industry, winning multiple awards for its quality and craftsmanship.
According to the company, "five friendly competitors met for dinner and bonded over their shared passion for tequila. After many more adventures together, this group of five founding partners set out with one mission: to create the finest tequila anyone has ever tasted."

The 125th anniversary celebration notwithstanding, U.S. international Christian Pulisic and AC Milan are enduring a tough season as the club currently sit in ninth place on the table. They are, however, only five points behind fifth place Juventus and face second place Napoli after the international break on March 31.
Pulisic's efforts continued as the American sparked a 2-1 come-from-behind win for AC Milan over Como on the weekend.
