LeBron James tries his best to maintain a spirit of modesty, but even he can’t help but admire his game every once in a while.
On Twitter, one highlight reel of the 4x MVP went viral on Twitter, leading to the Lakers star himself to eventually take notice.

You’re the greatest basketball player ever

Honestly, it’s a cool moment from James, but it’s not the first time he has given himself a pat on the back.
Heck, back in 2018, he basically proclaimed himself as the GOAT in light of his 2016 Championship.
“I was super, super ecstatic to win one for Cleveland because of the 52-year (championship) drought. And then after I stopped (celebrating), I was like, that one right there made you the greatest player of all time. Everybody was talking how they were the greatest team ever assembled, and for us to come back the way we came back, I was like, you did something special.”
“That was one of the only times in my career I felt like, you did something special. I haven’t had much time to sit back and think (about my achievements). But that was a moment.”
For any other player, such words would be considered prideful and blasphemous. For LeBron, however, it’s a lot closer to the truth.
Naturally, the status of his placement will always be debated, but with 17 All-Star appearances, 4 MVPs, and 4 Championships to his name, there is no arguing that he is one of the best we’ve ever seen.
This season, things haven’t been so smooth. The Lakers are losing and Bron has sat multiple games with various injuries. His age may finally be starting to show.
For now, he will continue to help the Lakers turn things around, and maybe watch some old clips of his dominance in between.
