Gordon Hayward claims he’s the best player in the league, would crush LeBron James (in League of Legends)

Bold words from Gordon Hayward (until you actually see what he’s talking about)

Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports

Gordon Hayward tweeted this:

WHAT, GORDON? I mean, you're good and all and averaged 16.2 points per game last year but BETTER THAN LEBRON? ARE YOU CRAZY? I MUST CLICK THIS LINK TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND.... oh.

I repeat: I’m the best in the game. And probably in all the other major sports, too.No athlete on earth is as good at League of Legends as I am.

For a while, this tweet crashed Hayward’s site:

Hayward goes on to tell the story of how he got into gaming, for which his passion is well-known: he talks about it a whole bunch, and was even briefly a pro gamer in the IGN Pro League.
