Kobe Bryant ranks himself against LeBron and Michael Jordan
The Los Angeles Lakers icon was appearing on the Late Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday night.
In the game Bryant was playing with Corden, he either had to answer the question or take a bit out of a cow tongue.
And instead of eating the tongue, Bryant opted to rank himself along the all-time greats.
The Lakers hero revealed he’s the best, with Jordan second and James third.
I'm the best, Michael's second-best, LeBron is third
When forced to answer the question from Corden, Bryant said: “Alright, fine, I'm the best, Michael's second-best, LeBron is third.”
Former Chicago Bulls star Jordan is regarded by many as the best player of all time.
Jordan won six NBA championships during his illustrious career, with Byrant winning five rings.
James, who quit the Cleveland Cavaliers last summer for the Lakers, currently has three rings.
The 34-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Lakers last summer.
However, James failed to lead the Lakers to the Western Conference playoffs this year.
Injuries hindered their season, with speculation surrounding a trade for Anthony Davis also derailing their campaign.
James recently passed Jordan on the NBA’s all-time points list.

The Lakers star, who has 32,516 career points, should pass Bryant next season to move into the top three.
James will then set his sights on Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Lakers hero Abdul-Jabbar sits at the top of the pile with a staggering 38,387 points.
