"Happy Birthday to my co-founder of Cincoro Tequila," Buss wrote on Twitter. "How do you keep getting hotter?".
In 2019, NBA owners came together to launch the new brand of tequila. Apart from Jordan and Buss, Milwaukee Bucks co-governer Wes Edens and Boston Celtics co-governor Wyc Grousbeck are also included in launching Cincoro Tequila. As per reports, the partners invested several million dollars in the company.
Jordan apparently also worked with the tasting team and apparently tested over 1000 types of tequilas before deciding a final blend. Reports added that he even had a particular flavour profile in mind. The six-time NBA champion apparently also worked with the branding side, even working with Nike's VP for ideas.
