"Don’t confuse a sheep for a GOAT” – Fans cringe on Lakers making goat noises during LeBron James’ interview
In the eyes of LeBron James, his 3-1 comeback against the Golden State Warriors in the finals cemented his place as the greatest player of all time. All these years later, James' teammates made sure to remind everyone of his status as the greatest of all time by making a goat noise during an interview.
This, of course, comes on the heels of James recently being trolled by fans for wearing an incredibly small towel last week.

LeBron James' status as the greatest of all time
With LeBron James passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record this season, many believe that he's become the greatest of all time. The way he sees things, however, it was the 3-1 comeback over the Warriors that cemented his place as the greatest of all time.
(Suggested Reading: Fans troll LeBron for speaking to media in tiny towel)
As he revealed on More Than An Athlete, not only did the win cement his place as the greatest of all time, it was one of the few times he felt he did something special.
He said:
"That one right there made me the greatest player of all time. That's what I felt. I was super, super ecstatic to win one for Cleveland because of the 52-year drought. Like, I was ecstatic.
"The first wave of emotion when everybody saw me crying was for all 52 years, for everything in sports that had gone on in Cleveland. And then after I stopped, I was like, 'That one right there made you the greatest player of all time.'"
With him and the LA Lakers now setting their sights on clinching a playoff spot, the stakes are high heading into the last three games of the season. With the Lakers in seventh place, with the same record as the sixth-placed LA Clippers, Wednesday's clash between the two teams is sure to produce fireworks.
Given how stacked the Western Conference is, the Lakers could find themselves securing a fifth-place spot with a win. As seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th place teams prepare for the play-in tournament, games to come, as well as the playoffs, could help make James' case.
