A few days after Luka Doncic’s history creating 60 point game, his idol LeBron James decided to go Super Saiyan himself. Playing the Atlanta Hawks on his 38th birthday, Bron woke up and chose to annihilate the opposition with his bombarding runs to the rim.

In atypical fashion. LeBron also showed Trae Young who’s boss from the 3-point line. Shooting 4/6 compared to the Atlanta man’s 0/4, The Lakers star had everything in his arsenal on display.
On a rare event, when Bron’s wife Savannah turned up to watch his game, he decided to show her why his fans call him the King. And Skip Bayless, certified hater of LeBron Raymone James Sr, had nothing but good things to say, in all caps.
Just one night ago, Skip “analyzed” Bron’s comments about wanting to win championships. He claimed James had given up – he was disengaged. Fast forward to tonight. Bron just dropped one of the best birthday performances ever.
To everyone’s surprise, Skip chose to praise LeBron – a sight rarer than the red moon. Funny how time works because it was the same man saying Bron is finished.
CONGRATS, LEBRON, ON YOUR BEST GAME OF THE YEAR BY FAR. 47/10/9! ROCKY START, SENSATIONAL EXPLOSION. NO CAPELLA, SO YOU WERE THE BIGGEST GUY ON THE FLOOR AND DID YOU EVER TAKE ADVANTAGE. WHAT A FINISH. EVERYBODY FOLLOWED AND CONTRIBUTED. NO REASON TO “GIVE UP” ON THE SEASON, BRON

Skip Bayless is All Capslock No Logic – He needs to explain his true Feelings toward the Lakers Star
Skip Bayless is the most confusing man on the planet. On one side, all he does is criticize LeBron James. It almost seems like he was born for it, although he’s older by some 30-odd years. But it almost seems like a fanboy is peeking out each time he utters “LeBron James.”
At first glance, it may look like the veteran TV presenter has nothing but a slew of rants diminishing the King’s achievements. But if you read between the lines, it almost looks like he is egging him on, trying to be better.
A Michael Jordan fan? More like a closet LeBron James fanboy. Maybe the 71-year-old cotton-topped “marathon runner” likes Bron more than the Chicago Bulls man but is too stubborn to admit it.

LeBron James has finally won over Skip, at least for a day – What should we expect of him next?
To many, crossing the most points scored mark would be the crowning achievement of their career. For LeBron, it is winning Skip’s approval. After two decades of saying he’s not “Clutch,” today, the Undisputed man gave Bron his flowers.
It only took him 20 years and a 47-point performance on his birthday to get a pat on the back – in all caps from him.
If LeBron James and the Lakers manage to get into the playoff position at the end of the year, we might see Skip build a shrine for him. But will the Lakers even reach .500? That is a question for which, currently, the answer seems to be a big fat no.
