Channing Frye is just full of jokes.

During his introductory press conference, new Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas mentioned how excited he is to be playing "with the best player in the world," with the rightful assumption being that he was referring to LeBron James.

Since Thomas didn't mention James by name, Frye elected to have some fun by jokingly assuming his new teammate was talking about him instead, commenting on SportsCenter's Instagram post on Thursday:

Frye averaged 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 74 appearances last season for the Cavaliers.

Be jealous, LeBron.
