There are various controversies among fans regarding who the GOAT is in the world of soccer, Messi or Ronaldo.

After France's defeat by Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, James posted a tweet about it.

LeBron James posted a simple tweet where he wrote Messi followed by a saluting emoji, a goat emoji, and two clapping emojis.

[{"selector":"#anim-cd32d1b1-5761-4c91-9a6d-ec756e74b24e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-6.032451482216026%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aaedd1fe-0a95-49e4-8782-46b41d9b98e6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fdd4e5e0-7f6f-4ac1-a54b-73ff497aa337","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(126.86568%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Leaving aside the LeLiar memes that appeared, James' tweet received a lot of negative feedback, especially from Ronaldo fans.

[{"selector":"#anim-d4e4b8d6-1f46-4639-b963-d559016c2f00 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-13.638686578502629%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2ef0230c-af75-4e59-a9b7-ff44b9453594","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d99650f-99d1-4e07-9875-db27d7ba232f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 146.68060%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Ronaldo fans continuously provided justifications for why Cristiano will always remain the football GOAT. Some even asserted that LeBron was trying to sign Lionel Messi to a contract with the Lakers.

So, James called Messi, the GOAT out of his emotion, perhaps, he did not think rationally.
