Michael Rapaport has never been a huge LeBron James fan. In fact, the actor has repeatedly railed against LBJ throughout his 15-year NBA career, calling him out for teaming up with other superstars and claiming LeBron will never catch Michael Jordan.
Well, these days, even LeBron's biggest detractors are coming around.
"I think LeBron James might be the best basketball player ever," Rapaport conceded in a new video. "And I'm probably going to take this video down, but on a humble Sunday morning, I think he actually might be the best. The guy's un-fucking-believable. I don't understand how, 15 years in, he could be having his best playoff series ever. So, like I said, I'm probably going to take this video down because I don't want this evidence floating around, but if you're seeing this now, that's where I'm at."
LeBron has fueled the Cavs to a 3-0 lead over the No. 1 seeded Toronto Raptors. James has been absolutely unstoppable thus far in the postseason.
At 33 years old, he's averaging 34.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 block per game in the playoffs. He's done it all for the Cavs, to the point that Saturday Night Live poked fun at the "other Cavs" in a hilarious sketch over the weekend.
LBJ and his squad will look to eliminate the Raptors from contention Monday night. They'll square off at 8:30 p.m. at Quicken Loans Arena.
