Kyle Busch Was Left “Weirded Out” By Narcissistic LeBron James After Irking Michael Jordan Fans With His GOAT Claim

There is no doubt that NBA Champion LeBron James is considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time. So, what’s wrong if the guy sings his own praise? NASCAR driver Kyle Busch explains why LeBron James weirded him out when he self-proclaimed to be the best.

During the 2016 NBA Championship, James and his Cavaliers won against the Golden State Warriors. The win was particularly special as the Golden State Warriors had recently broken the all-time single-season win. With a win of 73-9, the Warriors blew the championship by losing to the Cavaliers despite leading the series by 3-1.

After the match, James proclaimed himself as the greatest basketball player ever. He said that according to him, that one match made him the greatest player of all time. Although the match was a huge highlight in James’ career, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch isn’t comfortable with James calling himself the greatest of all time.

The 2015 NACAR Cup Series champion said, ?I?m kinda weirded out by what LeBron James had to say a few weeks ago. About he feels as though he?s the greatest of all time. You can?t self-proclaim that. I?ll never self-proclaim myself as the greatest of all time.?

He further explained why James’ statement is something that he can’t relate to at all. He said, “Will I put myself in the discussion and say am I one of (the greatest ever)? Yes. Do I feel as though I could be one of the greatest of all time, like if it?s top five that you?re talking about? I would say yes. But never the No. 1.?

Nicknamed as “Rowdy” and “Wild Thing,” Busch’s explanation revealed a different side of him. Although the Cup Series driver self-titled himself as KFB, it seems that there are certain areas in his life where he likes to stay grounded.

Kyle Busch and the mystery around his nicknames

Kyle Busch has many nicknames. From ‘Rowdy’ to ‘Wild Thing’ and ‘KFB’ to ‘The Candy Man,’ the guy seems to have more than one personality. Explaining the origin of his first nickname, ‘Rowdy,’ Busch explained in an interview that he got this name during his early Truck Series days.

He revealed that when he used to drive his #15 with Billy Ballew Motorsports, the owner asked him to run another truck. When asked what the other truck should be numbered, Busch reversed the 15 and said 51. The truck was already painted black, and Busch was a ‘Days of Thunder’ fan. So, he just put a ‘Rowdy Busch’ over it. And that’s how that name stuck.

Owing to his driving style, many people call Busch the ‘Wild Thing.’ Also, because of his longtime sponsorship with Mars, Incorporated, he got the nickname ‘The Candy Man.’ However, the self-titled KFB is still a mystery. In fact, NASCAR has its own page titled “What does KFB stand for?’ with its own conjectures of the full-form of the abbreviation.
