Why are LeBron James' teammates bleating like goats?

During the Lakers' rough season last year, Wenyen Gabriel began bleating like a goat whenever LeBron James scored a basket. It quickly caught on, and now multiple teammates join in on the goat sounds during media interviews. The players use the chants to express their admiration for James, who many believe is the greatest basketball player of all time. The 36-year-old has had a fantastic year, averaging over 28 points per game, and leading the Lakers to a 3-1 lead in the playoffs over the Memphis Grizzlies. James's ability to stay on top of his game for so long has left his teammates in awe. "We know he is the GOAT. We're always going to give him his flowers," said Lonnie Walker IV. The goat sounds may seem bizarre, but they remind James and the Lakers how much admiration and respect his teammates have for him.
