LeBron James is one of the great basketball players in history, and there’s no doubt that he is an all-time legend. Recently, he celebrated his 38th birthday by dropping 47 points on the Atlanta Hawks, and it is clear that LeBron James won’t be declining for the foreseeable future. 

Recently, LeBron James posted a birthday message on his Instagram, featuring a quote from Godfather 2 in the caption. His birthday cake and the “smaller piece” quote are clearly both a reference to Hyman Roth’s cake-cutting scene from the movie.

That was one special Bday! Had a great time from start to finish. Thank you all for the bday wishes and vibes! Love!!  “Smaller Piece”-Hayman Roth vibes!!

In Godfather 2, we see Hyman Roth ask for a “smaller piece” of the cake on his birthday. Even Stevener, the account that posted the video below, explained that this phrase has a double entendre, with the piece obviously referring to the cake but also to the business operations of Hyman Roth. (1:35)

What is significant in this scene is the reference of business operation handover termed using the word “piece” which also refers to the birthday cake piece. Hyman Roth also try portray a better image of him by making sure everyone sees the cake before he cuts it and asking the waiter to give him a smaller peice which indirectly makes everyone thinks that he does not brag about large business shares with others and that he is kind hearted.

It is clear that LeBron James has adopted some of Hyman Roth’s mentality on his birthday. Hopefully, the superstar had a fantastic day, and it is good to see him still dominating the league at 38.


LeBron James Has Been Compared To Michael Jordan After His Birthday Performance

LeBron James managed to score 47 points on his birthday and left many in awe of his performance. In fact, after watching the game, superstar Trae Young’s dad compared LeBron James to Michael Jordan.

This must’ve been what it felt like watching Jordan up close. I’ve never seen anyone control a game like that. My favorite is still MJ all time, but I can’t argue with anyone who says LeBron…..Man O Man

There is no doubt that LeBron James is an all-time great, and many people would put him in the GOAT conversation with Michael Jordan. He will be remembered as the greatest player among this generation of basketball players.

As of right now, LeBron James is still dominating with the Los Angeles Lakers, but the team clearly hasn’t gotten him the help that he needs to win a championship. Hopefully, we see LeBron James on a contender soon, as he still has a lot left in the tank.
