For years, LeBron James has been accused of being a liar.

Basketball fans couldn't tell if he was reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X or just carrying it for optics. After Takeoff died in 2022, he claimed to have introduced his Miami Heat teammates to the Migos in 2010, although the group was already buzzing at the time.

But now the basketball giant has grown tired of the accusations of being untruthful.

The Los Angeles Lakers star held a locker room press conference following the team's 124-118 win against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday and was asked what he saw in new teammate, rookie Dalton Knecht, when he praised him last year.

"I don't know. The same shit I said last year," James said around the 2:30-minute mark below. "Everybody on the internet calls me a liar all the time. They say I lie about every fucking thing. So what am I now? I've been said it."

After making reporters laugh with his response, the four-time MVP further commended Dalton Knecht, who formerly played for the University of Tennessee's Volunteers.

"I watched Tennessee a lot. I did not think he was going to fault us; I thought it would be impossible," James continued. "I have no idea how that happened, but very grateful and very happy that he is here."

James was previously called out about his alleged lying streak by Jalen Ramsey on a 2022 episode of The Shop. During the conversation, James accused the Los Angeles Rams of stealing his Madden playbook and using it for games.

"Bron you know what they saying on Twitter right now," Ramsey joked at the time. "You be cappin."

"I always speak the truth, baby. I only speak the truth," James replied.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other.

But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.
