Hi - You'll need to remember that 'I am the best there is', is - as you point out - a phrase . A phrase is a small group of words standing together as a conceptual unit, typically forming a component of a clause. In other words, there is information missing here, and this phrase, although often spoken and written, is not a complete thought without additional information being provided before or after.
