In the matchup between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, LA dominated Portland. LeBron James guided the Los Angeles Lakers to a 107-95 triumph against the Portland Trail Blazers in an extraordinary show of talent and supremacy. His performance left all the onlookers in awe of his outstanding display. However, this win for the Lakers not only showed James’ incredible leadership skills, but it also showed that the team has improved in an area they were lacking previously: the 3-point shooting.

But this victory also caught the attention of the former ESPN commentator, Skip Bayless. He, however, commented on King James’ performance and appreciated it by giving him a backhanded compliment.

Skip Bayless makes a sarcastic comment about King James

LeBron James, aka “King James,” extended his incredible hot run outside the arc when he faced the Portland Trail Blazers. He delivered 28 points in three quarters, converting an impressive 64.7% on his first 18 shots. This sight left the fans and analysts equally in awe of his skill and lethality. The game’s headline was actually LeBron’s consecutive triples, the very first of which was a near-logo shot that got the fans excited. Even the confidence shown by James while attempting these shots portrayed his boldness.

Despite the exceptional game played by James and the Lakers, sports announcer Skip Bayless couldn’t help but be sarcastic in his acknowledgment. Bayless tweeted after the game, “LeBron was great tonight, against 3-9 Portland.” While acknowledging James’ talent, Bayless quietly highlighted the opposition’s poor record, providing a counter element to the story.

Many people have speculated in the past that Bayless is a James Hater. However, that is not the case, and he has even given a clarification for this.
