LeBron James is, without a doubt, one of the top players to ever play in the NBA. There’s realistically just one player who could compete with him as the best player to play basketball. We all know that’s Michael Jordan.
Jordan was famous for being hyper competitive, inside and outside the court. Tales about him are legendary. It seems that this is a necessary feature of personality to be considered one of the best players in history.

Recently, comedian Kevin Hart, who is worth $450 million, challenged LeBron to a friendly set of golf rounds. Saying the following via Instagram:
“@kingjames … I am publicly challenging you to 18holes in a year …. Next Sept on the 17th …. I’m going to let the world see me kick yo a–!!!!!!! Consider this a threat and a warning!!!!!!!!! P.S I’m making the sleeveless golf shirt my thing!!!!!!! Suns out guns out B——–!!!!!!!”
LeBron James didn’t miss a beat, posting an Instagram story on Friday in which he responded to an ESPN post with Hart’s challenge. He clearly accepted it and seemed pretty confident he would come away victorious:
“It’s going to be a movie. I’m going to kick his ass!!!!”
Legends like James and Jordan seem to have this insatiable need to win at every turn.
LeBron James on the reality of a long-term relationship
There’s sometimes among the general public the idea that celebrities enjoy extremely close relationships, due to the abundance of resources they have to deal with the problems they have. In a recent interview with Complex’s 360 with Speedy Morman, LeBron James pushed back against this notion.
Speaking about his marriage to Savannah James, the Hall of Famer admitted it has gone through hardships like any relationship:
“I’m gonna be honest, a relationship is never picture perfect,” James explained
“If you’re okay with working through the hardships and the adverse moments, then it will make it all worth it,” James said.
It’s a rather refreshing perspective from a sporting superstar, showing that behind all the glitter and all the fame, an elite athlete’s life has much more in common with regular people than one would initially think.
