“He’s Scared to Death”: Skip Bayless Disses LeBron James Upon His Return After 76-Day Hiatus

Skip Bayless, the veteran NBA analyst and the star of ‘Undisputed’ is a name that needs little to no introduction. Apart from his longevity and his popular claims on his show, Bayless is majorly known for one big reason. It is his hate for four-time NBA champion LeBron James. From taking shots at social media to calling out the Los Angeles Lakers superstar on national television, Skip Bayless has done it all.

‘Undisputed’ took a two-months hiatus and is back right in time for the upcoming NFL season. However, it looks like Bayless still has to talk about James as he criticized the NBA superstar’s play.

Despite the major changes, there were two things which remained constant. Skip Bayless was still the leader, and he still hates LeBron James!

When talking about the Los Angeles Lakers, one panelists pointed out how the Lakers can be a problem if they stay healthy. Although Bayless dropped some major praise for King James, he also had a lot to criticize.

“I always say, he [LeBron James] is still to this moment, the best passer in basketball. He is still the greatest driver of the basketball and it ain’t even close, which is why at the end of the games I say, ‘Just put your head down’. Usually, he pulls up and jacks up threes because he’s scared to death at the late-game free throw line. I can show you a thousand times! That is the God’s truth”, said Bayless.

He pointed out how James failed to perform in the dying minutes of Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets. This loss sealed the Lakers’ fate as they crashed out of the NBA playoffs after losing in the Western Conference Finals.

Who are the new panelists at ‘Undisputed’?

Fans will certainly be nostalgic for the evergreen duo of Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. There are some new faces who will grace the screens alongside Bayless.

Fox Sports has hired Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Irvin, and Richard Sherman to replace Shannon Sharpe. Unlike previous years, Bayless is finding it difficult to dominate his other panelists.
