It's one thing for an NBA rookie to have confidence in their ability. It's a whole other thing to immediately call out one of the greatest NBA players of all time before you've played a single game.
That didn't stop Indiana Pacers rookie Bennedict Mathurin from calling out Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. In an interview with the Washington Post, Mathurin said James is going to have to prove he's a better player than Mathurin.
Before slipping off to his hotel room to make his final preparations for the draft, Mathurin said that there was one test, maybe the biggest of all, that he was particularly looking forward as a rookie: His first game against Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
