is this commiting shirk

[ak0016]

I had a thought of calling someone the greatest i smiled to the thought not sure. I had thoughts previous to that im not sure i was smiling to the previous thoughts or smiling to the thought of calling someone the greatest. After a few seconds it happened i got anxious.

All depends on your intentions. Muhammad Ali said:

"I'm not the greatest. I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round. I'm the boldest, the prettiest, the most superior, most scientific, most skillfullest fighter in the ring today."

But he also said/believed no one is greater than Allah. We know he was talking in context of his skills in boxing and in the ring and nothing like shirk.

I was not thinking like lordship but maybe like as a good person or like a easy going person or a person who did a favor for you or exageration in my mind im not a
sure.

Don't over think it then bro. I think Malcolm X was great but doesn't mean i'm equating him to Allah. Just keep it simple :)
