Ric Flair is The Nature Boy, the limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, son of a gun. He is also, according to Cleveland Cavaliers great LeBron James "The Inventor of Swag," as Flair told TMZ (via SB Nation) when he was leaving a Madison Square Garden after doing some promotional work with his daughter, Charlotte, ahead of tonight's house show in New York:
TMZ: "Which celebrity is the biggest wrestling fan that will blow people's minds?"
Ric Flair: "LeBron James ... first time I met him -- well, I've met him before -- first time I saw him, in the last couple of years, first thing he said to me he wanted to know if I had my Rolex on. He said [wrestling] kept him out of trouble in high school."
TMZ: "Was that such a compliment that a guy like LeBron knows who you are?"
Flair: "Yeah, he called me 'The Inventor of Swag.'"
I'm not sure it would blow people's minds at this point that LeBron is a huge fan, considering he hit Kevin Love with a Stunner after a game late last year. But LeBron marking out when he met Flair is great.
