"I reverse jinxed LeBron James and his Lakers": Skip Bayless claims to have jinxed the Lakers by wearing his Versace robe

Co-Host of the Undefeated Skip Bayless thinks he is the reason the Los Angeles Lakers fell short to the Phoenix Suns last night

Last night was a good time to be Skip Bayless. Skip ended up going 2 for 2 on his team predictions. The Los Angeles Lakers fell short to the Phoenix Suns 100-92 first. Then the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Dallas Mavericks 106-81. LeBron James and co. tried, but with Anthony Davis having to leave the floor due to injury, they just lacked the firepower. Turns out the day of rest proved to be good for Chris Paul, as he came up big tonight in the win.

The Los Angeles Clippers came out with a vendetta. After being tossed around and losing twice at home, the Clippers won two in a row on the road. From being called done for, the Clippers have clawed their way back, and the series is leveled once again.

Skip Bayless credits himself for the Lakers’ loss

Skip Bayless is a popular LeBron James hater. He is known to always root for teams that can take down the teams LeBron James is in. This year he decided to side with the LA Clippers. However, things were going well for the Lakers on the court, so Bayless decided to take matters into his own hands.

Skip decided to wear his Versace robe that Lil Wayne had gifted him. When he wore the gold-colored robe for the Clippers game, the Clips lost. This time, after using some high-level logic, Skip decided if he wears the robe with a Clippers hat, the Lakers would lose. Turns out, it worked!

Whether it was Skip or it was the Lakers themselves, the Suns now tie up the series. Looks like today’s win might motivate Skip to try such tactics more often.
