LeBron James is undeniably one of the biggest professional wrestling fans in the planet.

He even got a WWE championship belt from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and The King knows how to pay homage to another all-time great, Ric Flair.

Talking to TMZ, The Nature Boy said James once told him that he’s one of the greatest inventors of the current generation.

“He called me inventor of swag,” Flair told TMZ as his daughter Charlotte, the WWE Divas champion, looked on.

Flair said it all happened “a couple of years ago” when he met James and the four-time NBA MVP saw a Rolex on the 16-time World Heavyweight Champion.

Sorry Nick Young, you may be Swaggy P but it’s Mr. Flair who started it all.
