“Man Just Can’t Help Himself”: Skip Bayless Praises LeBron James in an Unusual Tweet

The Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Orlando Magic in their second scrimmage game inside the Orlando bubble. Each team is preparing themselves with these scrimmages ahead of the return to competitive NBA action. LeBron James and the Lakers lost to the Mavs, but they have they outplayed the Magic. 

As any NBA game gets underway, there will be a huge line of tweets dropping in. Journalists will try to keep fans updated about the stats of the game and others would even rate player performances amid the four quarters. 

In one such instance, prominent TV personality Skip Bayless commented on the first-half performance of LeBron James in the Lakers’ scrimmage against the Magic. Here is what Bayless wrote: 

“LeBron amazes me. He’s keeping himself in this 2nd restart scrimmage game into the third quarter… yet he has played THE THIRD MOST MINUTES IN NBA HISTORY. Man just can’t help himself. If it’s basketball and it’s on TV, he’s just going to play… and play…and play.”

LeBron has slowly been getting into form in the scrimmages, but he picked up his assist game right where he left off. The four-time MVP is not showing any signs of wear as he is going strong in his 17th year in the NBA. 

Can LeBron James win title number four this year?

Nothing is impossible. Just like how LeBron inspired the Cavs in 2016 to complete one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history, he can do it this year as well. Now, he is with the Los Angeles Lakers, and they have never looked better in the recent past. 

With the support of Anthony Davis, LeBron can certainly set his sights on ring #4 in 2020. The season is restarting amid a pandemic, which is absolutely a challenging time. But stars like LeBron thrive in these situations. 

The Lakers have successfully won their second scrimmage game against the Magic, following a disappointing loss at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks. LeBron showed sparks of brilliance in the Magic game, as he ended with 20 points to his name. Moreover, the king recorded seven assists in the game, two more than his tally against the Mavs. 

When the revised regular-season restarts, LeBron would be hoping to establish his dominance right from the first game. When the playoffs start, one can expect to see the king roaring in his full might, taking down opponents as they come.
