LeBron James enjoys a reputation throughout basketball and social media, not just for his incredible career, but for lying for no reason. In today's video, this list is in order from least to most ridiculous, and I guarantee you will find a lie that you didn't know LeBron James told. Let's get at it.
Number 30: The "My Favorite Saying" Lie. In this interview with Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, LBJ breaks out this obvious lie. "I had one coach, um, and he used to say, 'Put yourself in situations where you're not in, you're not comfortable.' My favor, that's my favorite saying."
And we know this is a lie because every move he has made professionally, whether it was leaving for Miami and joining a super team, or returning to a Cleveland Cavaliers team who retooled over a summer to give him a new super team, or whether it was joining the Los Angeles Lakers who also pruned their roster of young talent to acquire Anthony Davis, each and every move was made to put himself in the most comfortable path of least resistance possible.
Number 29: The Lie About the Beer Lady. "In the finals, I almost feel like I'm always asking you about running into somebody, but the beer, the beer lady, did you? How did that happen? Did you see what she was doing?" "No, I was, I was upset of myself 'cause I had an an opportunity and I didn't finish, left it short. And, and, uh, you know, my momentum just took me to the sideline, and I'm not going to run over our beer lady, you know. And, and she had one, you know, in her hand, so I took it out of her hand."
But not much of a beer guy. First of all, what wardrobe consultant let him sit in front of cameras with that Duck Dynasty denim wear shirt? Why is this one a lie? Because James's momentum did not carry him toward the sidelines, and we know that because he had time to do this, this, and still pick up a beer, but not drink it in front of the Cleveland faithful.
Number 28: LeBron James Invents the Deluxe Album. "We got 16 tracks, right? The 16 tracks. We want to do 14, but is there a problem with a week or two weeks after the album drop with the 14 tracks that we add the deluxe album and add the two songs back? Home. I think that's hard. I think it'll be a conversation of, 'This man has some more,' but he couldn't fit it into the album." "Thank y'all for taking on this ride with me. You know what? Hang on. Two more for y'all."
This one might be a lie. It also might be the King asking an honest question about something that most normal people know already exists. Either way, this clip of LeBron James seemingly inventing the concept of the deluxe album, which has been a recording industry staple for decades, out of thin air is too amusing not to be on this list.
Number 27: The "I Won't Stop Till I Bring a Championship to Cleveland" Live. And here's the quote from James back in the spring of 2010: "I got a goal, and it's a huge goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop until I get it."
And he bought a championship to Cleveland in 2016, but before bringing that championship home, he did, in fact, stop for four years after he abandoned his hometown to play with his boys in Miami. And he's not bringing around Cleveland just yet. Because like this video so far, don't forget to click the like and subscribe button, please.
Number 26: LeBron Grew Up a Dallas Cowboys Fan. After tweeting this message in support of Nick Chubb, LeBron James said, "I'm a Browns fan. I did grow up a Cowboys fan, but now I'm down with the Browns, and I want them to win."
And this is a lie because he didn't just grow up a Cowboys fan. We know this because as a grown man, he showed up to a Cleveland Browns game in a Dallas Cowboys jersey, and he was 32 years old when he posted this. And honestly, guys, that's just a dick move. Showing up in the opposing team's jersey while you're the face of one of the city's professional sports franchises is simply classless. Cleveland fans are known for being some of the most loyal fans in all of sports, and according to former Cleveland Brown wide receiver, Braylon Edwards, loyalty just isn't in Bron Bron's wheelhouse. And the quote from Edwards goes, "As I've gotten to know LeBron, LeBron isn't a Cleveland guy. LeBron only plays for the Cavaliers, and who knows if he even likes the Cavaliers. He doesn't like the Indians. He doesn't like the Browns. He's a guy from Akron who likes everybody but his hometown. I don't know how that's possible, but it is what it is, and he is who he is. You know, it's LeBron."
Number 25: The National Tight Ends Day Lie. And here is LeBron: "Dear God, they have a day for everything now. National Tight Ends Day." And James, who played the position in high school, took to the socials to give a shout-out to a few of the tight ends at the NFL level. The only problem here is, as we can clearly see from this video: "Shout out all my tight ends out there, man. Beautiful thing. Travis Kelce, George Kittle, T.J. Hockenson, that's just to name a few. So many out there, man. Mark Andrews, stud. You know, so, you know, just to name a few."
He really doesn't know any of their names. You can see the King moving his eyes off camera and keeping them on his laptop, furiously searching the page to find the list of the best tight ends. And while he's reading off the names, he keeps on saying, "just to name a few," to imply that he knows so many more. And then when it finally clicks to him, and the King figures out that the people watching know what he's up to, then he tells us he is definitely not doing exactly what we know that he is. "But yeah, I'm not looking at a list right now. I'm actually looking at the games that's about to be played today."

Number 24: The "I Predicted the Gonzaga Game-Winner" Lie. This won't be the last time on this list that the King saw a major sporting event and lied to paint himself as some Len Nostradamus. Of course, some notably low IQ mouth-breathers on Twitter completely fell for this. This one was just LeBron trying to draw attention to himself in any way possible by riding someone else's wave.
Number 23: The "I Come Up Swinging" Lie. And the context here is that in a Slam Magazine interview, when LeBron was asked about opponents knocking him down to the ground, his reply was, "If it was the 80s, then I come up swinging. But it's not the 80s." And for those of us who have watched LeBron for some time, we can definitively say, "No, the [expletive] you wouldn't, LeBron." And we know this because you can see from my recent video scores of scenes of LBJ getting tossed around the court like a rag doll. What you won't find are any clips showing him getting up in the face of opponents who get a little too physical with him and his teammates like MJ did against the most intimidating teams of his time. LeBron doesn't have that killer in him, and that's fine, just as long as he doesn't front and lie about it like he did right here.
Number 22: The Migos Slide. "I've been listening to those guys for so long. I was listening to those guys when I, my first year with the Heat in 2010, and you can ask any one of my teammates back then. They had no idea who the Migos was. They were like, cursing me out when I would play it throughout the weight room or play it throughout the locker room. I was like, 'I'm telling you, these guys are next. I'm letting you know right now.' These days, like, 'Turn this off.'"
And while this one is a lot of people's favorite lie, it's just not even close to his best lie. Is he putting his former teammates on blast by questioning their taste of hip-hop and then kind of backing the bus over them a little bit? Yes. But even though he is obviously wrong in the dates, the time gap here really is only a year. The Migos dropped their first mixtape in 2011. So even though this is a lot of people's favorite lie, it might not even be a lie at all. He might have just screwed up the dates. And even if it is, it's just not that egregious to place it anywhere near the top of this list.
Number 21: LeBron James 6'4" Lie. Yes, technically, this isn't LeBron James lying. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree here, guys. And LeBron James and his people were spearheading the push for Bronny James to get drafted. So, did Bronny James shrink 2 and a half inches from his time at USC until he got to the Lakers? Why lie about it? Well, there's reasons. And to be honest, a 6'2" shooting guard hitting under 37% of his shots in college just wouldn't command the attention and potentially a draft pick, even if he is the King's son. But hey, Bronny James is hardly the first guy to lie about two extra inches. Don't forget to like and subscribe.
Number 20: The JJ Redick Hiring Lie. This one is an early frontrunner for his biggest lie of 2024. "No secret that you have a very close relationship with LeBron. He could have done a podcast with anybody in the world. He chose to do it with you. What was his advice to you throughout this whole coaching search process?" "He didn't provide any advice. Um, LeBron and I did not talk about, uh, the Lakers job, uh, until Thursday afternoon, uh, about 30 minutes after I was offered the job. Uh, and that was very intentional on both our parts. Um, you know, I knew I had an understanding that he did not want to be involved in this. Um, and for me, I didn't want to go down the path of hypotheticals with someone that I consider a friend and someone that I have a great amount of respect for. So for, for, for us, it, it just came down to literally Thursday."
It of course, there was no way that they could have possibly discussed the topic of the Lakers coaching position until 30 minutes after Redick took it. What were we thinking? He's even pulled JJ Redick into his web of lies and deception, as evidenced by this lie from the new Lakers head coach right here. "With Bronny, I just, I want to clarify one thing you just said, which is Rob and, and I did not give Bronny anything. Bronny has earned this right. Bronny, he talks about his hard work. Bronny has earned this through hard work. And for us prioritizing player development, uh, we view Bronny as like case study one because his base level of feel, athleticism, point of attack defender, shooting, passing, there's a lot to like about his game."
Number 19: The Lie About Playing With Dad. "What about the timing to come into this year's draft compelled you to make that decision? And then how much of a consideration was, 'While my father's still an active player, I never really had a thought of, you know, me going to play with my dad, but that's always, you know, there to, you know, take part of, but it wasn't a main focus.'"
Yeah, again, Bronny isn't Bron. But we know that LeBron James is pulling the strings behind Bronny. And are you really going to tell me that Bronny never thought about playing with his dad, especially when the King brought up the topic of playing with his son so many times over the past several years?
Number 18: The "We Don't Disrespect Women in Our Locker Room" Lie. And for context, this was his response to a quote about grabbing something from candidate Donald Trump back in 2016. "We don't disrespect women in no shape or fashion. No, long that never comes up. You know, I got, obviously, I got a mother-in-law, a wife, a mom, and a daughter, and those conversations just don't go on in our locker room. What goes on in our locker room is sporting events that happened the night before, about family, about strategy that we may have that night, um, about a highlight that made it happen, you know, it was a home run in the bottom of the ninth, or was an alley-oop from a player the night before. That's what happens in our locker room."
But that guy was said that's so according to LeBron, the only topics in the Cavs locker room are the game at hand, highlights, and family. This, by the way, sounds like the most boring, nauseating, sanctimonious locker room ever. No wonder nobody wants to join LeBron's team. And I made a video about that topic. You can click the link in the pin comment below for that video. Tell me, was LeBron playing for the Cavs or for the view? Obviously, any adult male who spent time in any sports locker room knows that the King is lying right through his mouth hole. You can see LBJ noticeably shift around quite uncomfortably while discussing this topic with the medium. So I'm going to call [expletive] on the King's story right here, not because I have any evidence, but simply because James shared a locker room with one JR. Trying to get the pipe, Smith. And while JR's late-game court awareness may be called into question, his ability to bed women is not. Even rappers' girlfriends are fair game, and there is zero chance that Smith hasn't regaled his teammates with stories of his well-documented conquests in the Cleveland locker room.
Number 17: The "I Tore My Tendon" Lie. "What was the injury you were dealing with?" "The injury I was dealing with, I tore a tendon in my foot, and that's normally longer than a four-week recovery process." "It is. When did you get a sense of you, you would have a plan to get you back faster than, than what the normal kind of, uh, routine is on that?" "Um, when the doctors told me I was, uh, healing faster than anybody I've seen before with the injury." "Did anyone ever suggest surgery?" "Yeah, two doctors." "Why did you decide against it?" "Because I went to LeBron James feet. What the hell is even that?"
And he told me I should. First of all, there was only word from LeBron James and nothing from the Lakers or their team doctors. So we're stuck at taking him at his word. And what words they were: healed faster than anyone I've ever seen, and that he went to the LeBron James of feet. I mean, and you can even see him, the game after his injury, making moves like this. Really seems like LeBron was just milking his foot injury here, trying to get the media to hype up how he overcame another obstacle and added to his legacy, or perhaps just setting up his excuse for an early playoff exit.
Number 16: The 2010 Elbow Injury Lie. This happened during the 2010 Conference Semifinals against the Boston Celtics. And here's where James originally complained about an elbow injury after Game 2. And here's LeBron still complaining about that same elbow injury three years after it happened. In that series, Game 3 saw him play lights out, only to have the wheels fall off in Game 4. Game 5 was pivotal, both for the series and for LeBron James' future and legacy in Cleveland. If he lost, it would be his last game with the Cavaliers, and the pressure was on for him to show out for the Cleveland fans. What happened? Arguably the most disappointing critical game for any NBA top-tier superstar in history, and the penultimate reason why he can never be considered on par with Michael Jordan, with an elbow injury that allegedly caused pain despite no structural damage. Maybe what James really injured was his heart.
Number 15: His "Pretty Much Broken Hand" Lie. From the 2018 NBA Finals. Just like his "pretty much torn tendon" in his foot, this is pretty much a damn lie. And we know this as a fact because in Game 3, he threw an alley-oop to himself off the backboard and slammed it through with his pretty much broken hand. Once again, it was really James's heart that was damaged goods.
Number 14: The Akron as the Most Violent City in America Lie. So, I already covered this topic in depth in a previous video, which again, you can find the link to in the pin comment. But in this lie, LeBron James painted the city of Akron, Ohio, as a place where, quote, "not many guys make it past 18." This ended up being a colossal exaggeration and a pathetic attempt at LeBron James inflating the challenges that he had to overcome in order to further gas up his legacy, all while dragging the reputation of his hometown through the mud.
Number 13: The Peter Crouch Lie. In this clip, the King, who owns 2% of the Liverpool Football Club, demonstrates that he has zero knowledge of his investment at all. "We're going to witness a generational liar pretend to be knowledgeable about international football." "You own 2% of Liverpool. How does that come about?" "I read about the, the, the franchise and, and, and how amazing it is. Um, you know, and I actually made a trip over, uh, you know, to Liverpool as well, and, and, and see all the sites and, and the arena and everything. Um, so it was pretty, pretty unique." "Yeah, Crouchy is actually a Liverpool legend. He used to play there. I don't know if you knew that." "Huh? No, I knew that. I didn't get an opportunity to see him play when he was with the club, but I definitely knew. I definitely knew."
He absolutely has no idea who Peter Crouch is. This man couldn't tell Peter Crouch from Peter Griffin. "The current captain, uh, Jordan Henderson, just scored his first goal for England the other day. It was amazing to see." "You a fan of his?" "No, absolutely. And I saw, and I saw the clip of that too. Um, I didn't get an opportunity to actually see the game live, but, um, I saw that he was able to score one in the, in, in the match the other day." "No, I'm not a body language ologist, but in my humble opinion, nobody dances around like that if they are really telling the truth."
Number 12: The "I Don't Put My Teammates in the Trade Machine" Lie. "Oh, really? Because I would think that Michael Beasley, Lonzo Ball, Iman Shumpert, Dexter Pittman, Josh Hart, Joel Anthony, [Music] DeMarcus Cousins, DeAndre Hunter, Bojan Bogdanovic, Anderson Varejao, Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams, Matthew Dellavedova, Kyrie Irving, and, hang on, wait a second, guys. I'm, I'm being told that this is Boban Marjanović. Wrong. Serbian basketball player, Richard Jefferson, Derrick Rose, Jay Crowder, Michael Beasley again, and even Dwyane Wade might have something to say about this because they were some of over the 70 players that have been traded with LeBron James on the roster."
LeBron's GM's reputation as a wheeling and dealing sociopath is known throughout the land, as these Indiana fans ruthlessly told Brandon Ingram back in 2019. "Two over the last seven, so it's been a nice run for him offensively. Knocks down the first of two. Rakers still."
Number 11: The 2010 Dunk Contest Lie. Now, Kenny Smith is trying to out you for next year's competition. "You guys are pointing at each other. Inquiring minds, and the fans want to know, LeBron, are you going to compete next year?" "Right now, I'm preliminarily putting my name in a 2010 dunk contest." "Saturday night." "James, 2010 in Dallas." "Stadium." "Primarily, I put my name in the dunk contest."
All right, you heard it from LeBron James. From LeBron James, your number 11 lie is this blatant. You got to know that the top 10 lies ahead of us are going to be straight fire. Please subscribe and set the notifications.
Number 10: The Three Rims Lie. "You know, after, you know, during my, uh, finger to the eye, I was literally seeing three, uh, three rims out there. So I just shot at the middle one, and, uh, I was able to, uh, to the grace of the man above, I was able to knock it down." "One and doubt, go for the middle rim."
Why is this one so high? Because LeBron ripped this quote from this Rocky IV scene, pretty much word for word. "All right, what's happening out there? He's winning. I see three of them out there. Get the one in the middle, right? Get the one in the middle."
I'm going to throw in a freebie for you guys for number 10A: The LeBron Reading Books Lie. And look, I know this is a picture from "The Decision" 14 years ago, but when your bookshelf contains more bottles of Vitamin Water than it does books, it's a pretty obvious indicator that reading is not very important to LeBron Raymond James at all. Now, making us all think that he reads and is some kind of intellectual saint is top priority. But actually reading and learning, now that requires non-basketball IQ above room temperature, which may be a stretch for the King, and it obviously is, as we can see with each of these books that he's reading. He's looking right at the table of contents. "I don't know how far you are into the book, but what's your biggest takeaway so far?" "Um, I kind of just started a couple days ago, um, but, um, I've read and a lot of, a lot of notes over the years. This is my first time actually reading this from start to finish. Um, but just a very, um, very smart man, very, very, very smart man. And basically, um, his words in the, in the '60s, and, um, and, um, just a very powerful-minded gentleman. And, um, and it's, it's unbelievable to, to kind of read something that's coming directly from him. Um, just hate, wish I had the opportunity to meet him. Obviously, we know the situation that happened. WR, not only him, but Dr. Martin Luther King, some of the greats that's ever walked this, uh, face of the Earth, not only just here in America, but his face of Earth. So, um, pretty, pretty interesting book so far."
His breakdown of Malcolm X's book sounds exactly like what a 14-year-old me would say when I went to school and tried to answer the questions about a book that I never bothered to open.

Number 9: The "I Don't Believe I Played for a Super Team" Lie. In one of the most bizarre interview segments you will watch in this or in any other lifetime, LBJ says that he never played for a super team. "You've been a part of two super teams, the one you have here, the one you had in Miami. Uh, looking at what the Cavaliers, rather, the Golden State Warriors have done, are you still a, a fan of the concept? Do you think it's a good thing for the NBA to build these teams? How they brought in Kevin, and get what I'm asking?" "Uh, no, not really. I, I don't believe I've played for a super team. I, I don't believe in that." Then he immediately stitches on himself and admits that he is currently on a super team. "I believe we're a super team here."
Only to figure out that he just told on himself, and it was time to cut the pressure short. "So, no, I don't really, I don't. You guys want one more question before I leave?" "And I see you guys for a long time."
Number 8: The "Hardest One Championships in History" Lie. "The one thing that I know for sure is that I've been a part of two teams that's won the two hardest championships in NBA league history. The 2016 Cavs coming back from 3-1 versus 73-9. And 2020, being down 3-1 versus one of the best teams ever assembled, two-time MVP, two-time MVP. And then what we went through in the bubble was beating the 73-9 Golden State Warriors after being down 3-1. A huge accomplishment."
Of course, it was. Was it a harder one championship than the 1985 Lakers? They played before the homogenized NBA with consistent court temperature conditions throughout the league. Remember, the Boston Celtics were notorious for the state of their visitors' locker room, which was absolutely cramped and even purposely heated up during the summer months. During one finals appearance, the Lakers famously petitioned the Celtics to put air conditioning in the locker room, only to show up the next day to find an air conditioner, as requested, sitting on the floor in its box. And when the players emerged from their tunnel, already sapped by the heat from their locker room, the rabid Boston Celtics fans were waiting, hurling insults and giving the Celtics a real home-field advantage that does not exist in the NBA anymore. Just one game under these conditions, and the King would have called the commissioner and a press conference to complain and whine. And the Lakers ended up winning against the Celtics in Boston, a feat which no team had ever pulled off. Was beating the Warriors really worse than that? And were the Warriors even that great of a team if they were down 3-1 to the OKC Thunder, who were a 55-win team? Remember, they were 2 minutes away from getting dusted in Game 6 of the Conference Finals. I think beating those Warriors was harder than MJ's 1993 playoff run. After winning two consecutive finals, Jordan, not known for his load management, had played in 279 games and a full Olympic schedule, and he still had to run through the gauntlet of the New York Knicks, a team whose roster was designed to wear down the Bulls physically, and then the Phoenix Suns, perhaps the deepest, most talented team who never won an NBA Finals. What about the 1995 Rockets, a six seed with 47 wins, who took out three 59-win teams and then beat Hakeem, Penny Hardaway, and Shaquille O'Neal? Was beating the Warriors really harder than all that?
"And then what we went through in the bubble. And if you were not in the bubble, you don't quite understand it. You would never, ever understand how hard it was to win that championship. To be able to motivate yourself to be out of this is literally out of your whole comfort zone. And to even mention the Disney final as one of the hardest championships ever won is a testament to the pathological narcissism of James." "You everything you accustomed to, your own bed, or, or your chef, you know, your sleeping pattern, you know, you're so accustomed to, you know, for me, I'm a routine guy. And when my routine is like knocked off, I, I, it's like I don't know, it's hard for me to center myself. I'm literally in a bubble at times, like in my room, literally see the walls like this, like 'The Shining,' just blood, just like blood coming down my walls."
Feel LeBron. I'm sure that Wes Unseld in the '78 Bullets had someone on staff tailoring their dietary needs to their liking on their road to the finals. LeBron James fans, listen to your princess crying for his personal chef. For a guy who has a giant history tattoo, he sure doesn't know [expletive] about it.
Number 7: The "I Don't Flop" Lie. If LeBron James was telling the truth here, then I would not have been able to make a top 20 compilation video of LeBron's 20 greatest flops. The link to that video will appear in the pin comments below.
Number 6: The "Everybody Wanted to See Me Fail" Lie. "Besides my family and my friends and my city, and then some people in my city as well, 'cause we even, we even know some of them people, to be quite honest with you. Everybody wanted to see me fail when I got to the league. Everybody was just like, 'There's no way he's going to be able to exceed, you know, the expectations that's put on him.'"
This is absurd. I was alive in 2003, and speaking for the vast majority of basketball fans, nobody wanted to see him fail. While we had Kobe Bryant, we were losing MJ, and we were all looking for and hoping for another transcendent talent to come along. The sports media were broadcasting his high school games, and Nike and the league itself were all pulling for young LeBron James to become great. Saying that everyone wanted to see him fail is the same type of lie as the one about Akron or about his almost torn foot tendon. They're just made to fluff up his backstory with imaginary obstacles that never existed.
Number 5: The "I Am Not a Coach Killer" Lie. LeBron James may very well be the Charles Manson of coach killers, because as he is sending coaches out with their pink slips, he has an entire cult-like following chugging his Kool-Aid. Paul Silas, Mike Brown, David Blatt, Luke Walton, Frank Vogel, and Darvin Ham have all been axed due to the influence of LeBron James on each team's upper management. He even famously tried to purge one of the game's great coaches, Eric Spoelstra, before Pat Riley told the King to go pound sand. He has even put hands on three of his head coaches, and there's a link to that video in the pin comments below. Still, there's always plenty of mouth-breathing LeBron James fans who will believe his every word. Guys, don't forget to subscribe, click like, let's get at it.
Number 4: The "I've Watched The Godfather" Lie. "Last night, to settle himself down, he watched 'The Godfather Part Two.' Uh, he is taken to watching 'The Godfather' now, uh, throughout this postseason. As you know, like I said, no social media, no SportsCenter, none of that stuff. He's watching movies. And he's watched 'The Godfather' six times this postseason. He said, 'Last night, it just settled me down. It's about family.'"
And so many watching "The Godfather" six times must have left an impression on LeBron James, right? "It is a question, uh, not related to the game, but since it has been a lot of publicity yesterday and today about 'Godfather Part Two,' which is the scene or, or the moment or the phrase or the quote you like more from the movie?" "Oh, from 'The Godfather,' uh, um, it's there. Too many different phrases. Uh, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you. I did not care for 'The Godfather.'" "What?" "Did not care for 'The Godfather.' Too many different lines in that movie to just, uh, categorize one." "Al Pacino, I mean, you never see Robert De Niro. 'I'll make him an offer he can't refuse' is a quote that even if you never watched 'The Godfather,' you know that quote. Then there's 'Revenge is a dish best served cold,' 'It's strictly business,' 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli,' and there's so many others."
But LeBron makes it embarrassingly clear that he's never seen "The Godfather," even though he told Chris Broussard he watched it six times. "I mean, each movie is 9 hours long. I mean, what do you want me to do? It takes forever getting in. And you spend, you spend like 6 and a half hours, and then, you know, I can't even get through. I can't even finish the movie." "You've never seen the ending?" "But which is the one which inspired you? Represent?" "I don't know. I'll let you pick one out." "Row with it. It's, it's a great. I'll let you pick one."
"Is the designer bow on LeBron's gift to us of a topshelf lie? And if you're enjoying this video right now, guys, I'm on my way to 1,000 subscribers, and I'm not going to lie, I'd like to get paid for this. So can you help a brother out and click that subscribe button? If you're enjoying what you're watching, please."
Number 3: The Miami Heat Welcome Party Lie. "But we also know you three kings came down here to win championships. Not one championship, not two. LeBron, tell us about that." "Not two, not three. Hey, three. Not four, not five, not six, not seven."
For me, this was his clearest, most bold lie of all, one that may have been told in earnest and really demonstrates LeBron's low off-court IQ and how words mean nothing to him, and how his primary motivation is attention-seeking behavior. In front of thousands of Miami fans and millions of people who watch this clip, LeBron looks at his shooters next to him and promises a multitude of championships. And you can see how Dwyane Wade breaks out into uncontrolled laughter. And now, the King, who never won a single title for Cleveland and their loyal fanbase, just promised Miami and their notably god-awful fanbase seven. And yeah, he got them two chips, but he missed two, including one against Dallas that was easily within reach. And it's still a lie because two ain't seven.
Number 2: The Graffiti Incident Lie. I'm not going to discuss this one too much, as this delves into the much darker side of LeBron's personality. However, calling a national press conference and starting an uncomfortable conversation over an incident for which no pictures, no video, no police report, no proof at all exists, is truly one of the more insidious, hateful lies that a person, especially one of LeBron's influence and social position, could ever speak. LeBron's fake fairy tale came on the heels of his abrupt end to the season after losing to Golden State in the finals. Again, it was perfectly timed to get the attention off how he got worked over in the NBA Finals. This fictitious incident stands today as a truly pathetic diversion from his failure in the NBA Finals and his most disgusting lie of all.
Number 1: The "I Called Kobe Dropping 70" Lie. "I've seen the whole game. I was at home watching the game, and, you know, I said he was going before the game even started. When I seen, uh, I said he was probably going to score 70 tonight. I don't, I don't know what made me say that. And my friends was with me, and they was like, 'Okay, so when he got to like 70, I, I was like, 'Well, he might as well go for 80 now.' So, I mean, I'm a fan of the game, and to see that performance was unbelievable."
This is the one that cemented LeBron's status as a truly once-in-a-generation liar. There was absolutely no reason to do this. He was years into his career as a massive star, and it's not like his carefully crafted image really needed a bump. The King told this one just because he really enjoys the act of lying. This lie was definitely for the love of the game. And you know what? I've got two more number ones, guys. Thank you all for taking on this ride with me. You know what? Hang on. Two more for y'all.
Another Number 1: The LeBron James is a Patriot Lie. Make no mistake here. LeBron James is no patriot. Just like he trampled on Akron, his hometown, he has no respect for the United States, the country he was born into where he earned his millions. And he has disrespected the American national anthem on multiple occasions. He refuses to stand for it. Who's and through the, let's go, flails and screams like he's addicted to bath salts during it. Let's go. And even sucks up to China. And this picture of him floating across the river like some Dollar Tree George Washington is simply a filthy, godforsaken lie.
And now for my personal number one: The "Kobe Took Over My Body for That Dunk" Lie. Stop the cap right here. Invoking the name of Kobe Bryant and suggesting that he inhabited LeBron's body for that dunk is simply blasphemy. This dunk took place two weeks after the tragic death of Kobe Bryant. That was enough time for James to plan it, mimic it, and get it just right. And while that dunk was a solid replica, and for many fans, it did bring back memories of the Mamba, I mean, just call it for what it was. Kobe inhabited my body. He's not just riding the wave of the living; he's moved on to riding the wave of a legend who just died. Man, just say that you did it as a tribute to him and keep it moving. And you know what? I would respect that. Most basketball fans would absolutely respect that. What real fans do not respect is this supernatural [expletive] sandwich that LeBron James tried to force on us all.
