"Michael Jordan would never be clowned on like LeBron James!": Skip Bayless brings back GOAT debate after Jonas Valenciunas laughs at $1 billion man's expense

Skip Bayless somehow compares Jonas Valenciunas’s ‘clowning’ of LeBron James to Michael Jordan

When it comes to Skip Bayless, LeBron James can never quite catch a break, can he?

Year after year, this 70-year-old man finds one reason or another to roast the King. Heck, just recently, he even criticized the player’s recent Drew League performance. Truly, there are levels to Bron-hating, and Mr. Bayless unequivocally stands as the King.

But, given the number of people after James’s life, Skip Bayless needs to keep finding new ways to keep on doing the same thing to keep his place. And recently, he was given all that he needed to make it happen.

You see, Pelicans’ Jonas Valenciunas did this on a Lithuanian TV show recently.

Frankly, this seems like nothing more than just some good fun. But, Bayless evidently decided to make a mountain of a teensy little molehill. And boy, did he make one.

Let’s dive right into it, shall we?

Skip Bayless claims no one would have ever made fun of Michael Jordan the same way LeBron James was made fun of

Oh yes. And somehow, this has gone from being from nothing more than a bit of fun, to full-on ‘clowning’.

Don’t believe us? Well then, just take a gander at how Skip Bayless refers to the whole situation in the tweet below.

Let’s be clear here. MJ played in a completely different era.

While players from opposing teams were friends, they didn’t exactly have a relationship where they could laugh when another player made a good-natured joke about them.

And overall, we get that Skip Bayless wants content. Heck, we know how much viewership just the names of Michael Jordan and LeBron James fetch.

But sometimes, Lord Almighty does this man need a serious dose of the chill pill from the doctor.
