Skip Bayless was born into the Oklahoma Sooners tradition and adopted the Dallas Cowboys culture as he grew older. While he can often be heard trashing the Cowboys, only for them to play better, his hatred towards LeBron James is clearly undeniable. However, when asked who would he want to see win a title out of the three, Bayless choosing LBJ and his son Bronny was something quite unexpected.

“For me, at least a Bron and Bronny championship would be tolerable to watch.”
Bayless broke down how he can see LeBron James winning a title with his son. He pointed out Bronny’s struggles in the Summer League. The 19-year-old was having a hard time on offense, but an even harder time on the defensive end of the floor. However, the 72-year-old sports commentator pointed out how Bronny’s game was curated in a way that complements his father on the floor.
Over time, playing with Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and his father would make him a better player in the future. Moreover, out of the options he was given, Skip felt that this one was the most achievable one of the three. And as much hatred as he has for the Los Angeles Lakers star, Bayless does seem to have a soft spot for King James’ eldest son.
Skip’s not impressed with LeBron James’ performance in the Olympics
Since the time he came into the league, Skip Bayless has trashed LeBron in almost every aspect possible. The 72-year-old sports analyst has been an advocate for Michael Jordan and his legacy. So, it only takes a mention of King James in the G.O.A.T. debate for Bayless to lose his cool on live television.
And now, with LeBron’s eldest son in the league, one would think that Skip might lay off LeBron. However, that hasn’t been the case. Despite choosing LeBron and Bronny winning a title over the Cowboys winning a Super Bowl, Bayless continues to drag LBJ through the mud.
The 39-year-old star has been the catalyst for Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics so far. Even though the team has only played one game until now, LeBron’s performance in the Showcase games cannot be overlooked.
Unfortunately, the sports analyst does not feel the same way. The host of Undisputed claims that LBJ is trying to make his case for the G.O.A.T. title using the current 2024 Paris Olympics.
“LeBron James will seize upon every single opportunity to blind you into thinking he is the greatest basketball player who ever lived…He is leaping aboard the most deeply talented Team USA ever… So that he can ‘lead’ the prohibited favorite to gold, which would give him one more gold medal than Michael Jordan won and would give the billions of blind witnesses bogus reason to say, ‘See, he is the G.O.A.T.’.”
Whether The Akron Hammer helps Team USA bring the gold or not, he has already made quite a strong case for himself in the G.O.A.T. debate. But as long as Skip Bayless is around, it does not seem like an easy road for LeBron to be called the ‘Greatest of All-Time’ anytime soon.
