Watch: Jalen Ramsey Trolls LeBron Hard Over Twitter Memes

View the original article to see embedded media.

Social media has been littered by memes about LeBron James exaggerating or telling white lies about various habits and predictions he’s made over the years. After the tragic death of Migos rapper Takeoff, James said that he began listening to the Atlanta-based trio back in 2010, the year before they dropped their debut mixtape, and three years before “Versace” became a smash hit that launched them into hip-hop superstardom.

There is a chance that James somehow got his hands on the project before it was released. Most figure it is more likely that he fibbed about it though, something that seems to be a bit of a trend for King James. 

Back in August, an old interview with James, in which he said that he told his friends that Kobe Bryant would score 70 points before the Lakers star dropped 81 against the Raptors, went viral

A screenshot from that interview has been used over the last few weeks as a meme template, in which fans poke fun at James making even more outlandish predictions.  

During his alternate broadcast of Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football game, James was called out directly by Rams star Jalen Ramsey.

After the Lakers gave a strangely detailed account of his Madden strategy with Ramsey and the Rams defense, the superstar cornerback had to bring up the memes.

“Now LeBron, you know what they’re saying on Twitter right now. They say you be capping,” Ramsey said, causing the entire set to break out in laughter.

“It’s so funny, we were just talking about this,” LeBron responded. “I only speak the truth, baby. I only speak the truth.”

At the very least, it’s clear that LeBron knows what everyone’s been saying about him. We’ll see if that causes him to dial things back a bit.
