Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is not only one of the best basketball players of all time but he is also one of the funniest.

We saw our latest example of this on his Instagram story on Tuesday afternoon. James shared a video of him sitting by a pool while enjoying a cocktail next to a bottle of Hennessy cognac.

While relaxing by the water, the four-time NBA Finals MVP was reading a book. But this wasn't just an ordinary book. Instead, this was an imaginary book entitled The First Page.

James is occaasionally accused of just reading the first page of a book and never much beyond that whenever he is photographed with literature.

Although it is usually The Autobiography of Malcolm X and not a fake book literally called The First Page, this advertisement showed a tremendous self awareness from James.

Much like when he knew people have called him out for lying or when he recreated a viral meme with Emma Navarro, he knows exactly what he is doing.

Shout out to LeBron for showcasing his sense of humor on this one.
