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.
