Many consider NBA superstar LeBron James' best years were with the Miami Heat from 2010-14. 

That's not the case for pro wrestling star Ric Flair, who is a huge fan of James. He claims James' best years are with the Los Angeles Lakers, the second team after he left the Heat. 

"I like LeBron, period. I met him when he was 16," Flair said. "I can't remember which [team] I like him the best. Actually, I like him with the Lakers. I really believe that if Anthony Davis could stay healthy 85 percent of the games ... I think the West is open." 

Flair, considered among the greatest wrestlers in history, still believes James s a top-tier player. 

"LeBron right now today is better than 95 percent of the guys playing," Flair said. "He's taken great care of his body. His physique is second to none, 6-8 270 pounds, come one. The Punisher."
