Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has had his fair share of idiosyncratic teammates. There's Ricky Davis, Chris Andersen, JR Smith, and of course, Kyrie Irving, just to name a few. When you've played for as long as 18 years in the NBA, you'll definitely meet a lot of people along the way.

But perhaps one of LeBron's most memorable teammates is Richard Jefferson. They played three seasons together with the Cleveland Cavaliers and won a championship ring. Jefferson, who now works as a TV analyst for ESPN, has always been well-liked by LeBron's fans because of his lively personality and sense of humor.

On Wednesday, the 41-year-old Jefferson hilariously congratulated himself for a distinction only himself would label as legitimate. Small tip: Take note of the source.

Jefferson, who recently mocked the Lakers for their plan to look into the buyout market instead of making trades, is not new to making dry, tongue-in-cheek posts on his Twitter account (it's a must-follow). Also recently, he made fun of himself on his TikTok page after fellow ESPN host and former teammate Kendrick Perkins took him out of the shot during a segment.

LeBron has said in the past that Jefferson is a great person to be with and is a respected voice in the locker room. That's something the Lakers could be needing these days.
