LeBron James explains how he knew Kobe Bryant would score 81

LeBron James has made many claims in the past that have had fans either scratching their heads or laughing out loud.

One famous claim that LeBron has made was how he “knew” Kobe Bryant would score 81 points in 2006. LeBron recently spoke about this claim and the backlash he received on 360 with Speedy.

“Every time I say something, everybody thinks it’s a lie,” LeBron said. “I got homies that were at the house with me when Kobe was dropping 81. When he got 60, I’m watching the game like ‘Oh sh*t, he might go for 80 tonight.’

“I got homies that were in my room, I lived in a house in Ohio at the time, and we sat in a small room watching the game, and I was like ‘Oh sh*t Kobe is going for 80 tonight.’”
