Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James denied the false claims after Jalen Ramsey asked him about the latest internet frenzy during Thursday Night Football.
LeBron has been caught lying on several occasions since 2010, which has been dug up by the internet and now presented to the rest of the world on social media.
Such instances include him predicting Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game, saying he knew Peter Crouch played for Liverpool, and crediting Takeoff with introducing his Miami Heat friends to the Migos in 2010, even though the team didn’t set the record until 2011.
James said he has seen the social media backlash, but added, “I always tell the truth.”
“Now you know what they’re talking about on Twitter!”@jalenramsey He is proving that. @King James He saw memories 😂

LeBron has struggled throughout the season to date, averaging 24.9 points a night on 24% shooting from three and 46% from the field.
The 37-year-old has missed the last two games for the Lakers with an injury, and the team has gone 3-0 without James, going 0-10 with him.
According to the latest NBA betting odds with BetOnline, the Lakers are +7500 outsiders to win the championship and will be pushed to make the postseason after missing out last year.

LA snapped a five-game losing streak against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, and Anthony Davis posted an impressive 37 points and 18 rebounds to lead the Lakers to victory.
Rule Westbrook’s drama continues as rumors swirl about his future with the team, but he could revive his career in California with a new sixth man role under Darwin Hamm.
LeBron can’t be traded this offseason after signing a two-year, $197 million extension in September and is set to hit free agency in 2024, where he could be reunited with his son, Brony James.
