It seems like in 2014 there are two ways to break the Internet: You can leak nude photos of celebrities, or you can brag that you would "crush" LeBron James in a one-on-one game.

Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz blew up the Web yesterday when he posted on Twitter this little gem: "If I played @KingJames 1-on-1, I'd crush him."

He included a photo that said, "one on one versus LeBron James? He would get crushed. We would all be witnesses to a straight up annihilation." Then it linked to his site.

This set the world on fire, so everyone then clicked on the link that directed you to his website.

I know this sounds like bragging. That's because it is. I'm so confident in my abilities that I would put money on myself, hypothetically speaking.

One on one versus LeBron James? He would get crushed. We would all be witnesses to a straight up annihilation.

The reigning MVP, Kevin Durant? I'm LOLing. Go ahead and put him with Russell Westbrook. Throw Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard in there, just for kicks. They'd still have no chance.

Honestly, take any five NBA players you want and put them on the same squad. It doesn't really matter. I'd beat them all. It would be like playing a bunch of kindergartners.

I repeat: I'm the best in the game. And probably in all the other major sports, too.

Once you read on, you will notice Hayward is talking about playing videos games. I don't even know if he would be the best gamer in the NBA -- more or less the best player.
