LeBron James wrapped up the 2020-21 season with an average of 25.0 points per game, which marked his 17th consecutive season with at least that many.

However, the Los Angeles Lakers great was feeling some type of way about himself, so he took to Twitter to note that people often overlook his production for another stat.

Since I was 19 years old! And I’m a pass first guy. Always been. That’s why I’m never mentioned with the greats of scoring huh?? That’s perfect cause I’d rather keep it that way! ?. #ThekidfromAKRON?? #SFG? #JamesGang? #Blessed?? pic.twitter.com/QGqFFHu3jj

His 17 seasons with at least 25 points per game are the most all-time, according to StatMuse.

Even still, social media decided to mock him for his post:

Creates his own narrative and his minion fan base follows #phony https://t.co/KxnWRf8gE4

LBJ is the Drake of basketball.

Puts up undeniable numbers, but very corny and would be much much more universally respected if he just played it cool. https://t.co/lcdJmAFm8O
