LeBron James said he liked Migos in 2010, but NBA fans think he may be lying and it’s hilarious

LeBron James is one of the two best basketball players of all time, and in some ways, it’s hard to process what he’s able to accomplish on the court.

When he is off the floor, however, it’s often surprisingly easy to see exactly what LeBron is doing. Many of us have had friends like LeBron who seem to go out of their way to fib every once in a while.

The four-time NBA Finals MVP once said he predicted Kobe Bryant would score 81 points before the game started. He said he watched The Godfather six times during the 2016 postseason, but couldn’t recall a single quote. He seemed ill-informed about Liverpool during this interview.

Fans noticed another example of LeBron potentially either exaggerating or stretching the truth once more this past weekend:

LeBron honored the late rapper, Takeoff, with his pregame outfit before the Lakers played the Cavs on Sunday. It was a nice tribute to Takeoff, who was killed when he was shot after a private party in Houston.

When asked about the musician during a postgame press conference, LeBron said that he first started listening to the Migos star waaaaaaaaay back in 2010.

Is it possible LeBron is telling the truth about this one? Certainly! It’s also not likely, though, considering Migos didn’t even drop a mixtape until 2011, and their first hit single “Versace” was released in 2013.

LeBron may be a longtime Migos fan, but this seems a bit egregious.

Of course, no one will pull out a lie detector when these things happen. It’s totally harmless, and there is no way to verifiably prove whether or not he is telling the truth or not.

All we can really do is raise a questioning eyebrow when we cast some doubt. That is exactly what fans did after LeBron’s comments on Sunday night.
