Twitter users are calling out LeBron James for the white lies he has been telling during his 20-year NBA career. James’ latest fib was heard on Sunday, when he tried to pay tribute to slain rapper Takeoff during the Los Angeles Lakers postgame press conference. That’s when the Lakers superstar said he started listening to the Migos back in 2010 before anyone knew who they were.
“I was listening to those guys my first year with the Heat in 2010. You can ask any one of my teammates back then, they had no idea who the Migos was … I was like ‘I’m telling you these guys are next,’” James told reporters.

Fans, however, remember that the Migos’ first mixtape wasn’t released until August 2011. As a result, James is once again facing the wrath of the internet.

When it’s all said and done, James may be remembered as the greatest basketball player of all time and one of the funniest liars of all time. That’s quite a resume.
