BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 7 (UPI) -- The "Ellen" show featured a primetime basketball match-up between LeBron James and Ellen Degeneres Wednesday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star suited up for 'Roomba basketball' with Degeneres. The game comprised of shooting paper balls into wastebaskets attached to Roombas.

Each time Degeneres made a shot, James had to take a shot of vodka. Each time James missed a shot, it was time for Degeneres to drink up.

Ellen won the shootout 3-2 against the NBA Finals MVP.

"It felt a lot different," James told Degeneres about winning another NBA title. "Two years ago, I decided to go back home, and my main goal was to bring a championship to a place that hadn't seen one in over 50-plus years. To bring it back to the hometown, and to do something that a lot of people didn't expect, it meant everything."

James is a four-time NBA MVP and 12-time All-Star. He has three NBA titles.
