“Skip Bayless is Great for TV!”: When LeBron James Acknowledged the FS1 Analyst for the First and Only Time

LeBron James is one of the best players ever to step foot on a basketball floor. The 6ft 9″ Lakers star is playing his 20th season in the league, yet he looks better than most of the players around. Bron has been averaging 29.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and seven assists per game despite the fact that he’s 38 years old.

Over his 20 years in the NBA, LBJ has achieved countless things. He’s won 4 NBA Championships, has 4x Finals MVPs, is a 4x MVP, and a lot more. He’s Top-10 in the NBA in scoring, assists, and steals.

Bron has brought championships to three different franchises, and has been one of the biggest stars in the league ever since his rookie season. However, there has been one constant naysayer throughout his career: Skip Bayless.

The only time LeBron James acknowledged Skip Bayless

Whenever the Los Angeles Lakers are playing, you can be assured that a 71-year-old analyst is glued to his TV and ready with his Twitter fingers. Skip Bayless watches LeBron James playing like it’s the gospel. He’s always present to find ways of mocking the Lakers’ star, no matter what he does throughout the game.

From failing to close the game, to his low three-point percentage, Skip finds a way to mock The King.

As far as we know, Bron doesn’t respond to the Fox Sports analyst and lets his comments slide. However, there is one noted incident where Bron talked about the analyst. Back when Bayless was on ESPN’s First Take with Stephen A Smith, Bron had talked about Skip briefly.

He said,

RT @Nicholas246: @KingJames How do you feel about Skip Bayless?(I don’t feel anything! Never met or seen him a day in my life. Great for TV)

— LeBron James (@KingJames) August 26, 2012

For someone who always mocked the King, LeBron showed great maturity by calling Skip great for TV.

How far is LBJ from the scoring record?

When Bron entered tonight’s contest against the Blazers tonight, he was 261 points shy of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s tally. He has 17 already in the first half against the Blazers, so that moves him up to 244 points.

If Bron keeps playing the way he has been, he might cross Kareem sooner than everyone expected. As of now, the expected date is the Feb 9 contest against the Milwaukee Bucks.
