Saying I’m the best in the world and nobody can beat me doesn’t seem humble. He does has confidence though.

[@LizAya22]

No it’s humble because he doesn’t go out and challenge anyone saying he’s the best- the just says “i think im the best in the world and i can definitely beat em” Thinking something and knowing something is the difference “I know im the best” “ I think I’m the best” Two different things

I love watching/listening to these types of features with young athletes. You can tell he's really just a kid still, the amount of confidence he expresses in other stuff besides basketball is preposterously high. Especially since they're hobbies he just picked up and he hasn't measured himself against pros.

[@loikcharles607]

So basically he either has to be so good that he has no confidence in anything else that he does as hobbies....Or he's not supposed to have anything else to be interested in or he's not good enough? Smh this is 2023 not the 70's 80's or even 90's man.

@@loikcharles607 well, you're interpretation skills are lacking. Nobody is saying he can't have confidence in himself, but declaring yourself among the best at something when you haven't measured yourself against proven people is beyond ridiculous. Even Michael Jordan who's widely recognized as the most competitive athlete ever always said he loved the competition as a measuring stick. He wasn't parading around claiming to be at the level of MLB pros when he was actually still playing A ball.
