“This is embarrassing” – Fans lose it as Skip Bayless gets roasted in 1v25 debate over LeBron James argument
NBA analyst Skip Bayless is making the headlines lately after his recent appearance in a 1v25 LeBron James-Michael Jordan GOAT debate.

Skip Bayless and LeBron James
Prominent sports media personality Skip Bayless is well-known for his adamant belief that Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all time. This is a claim he frequently makes in opposition to LeBron James. It’s common to see Bayless arguing this issue. Most recently, he did the same in an all-exclusive 1v25 debate on Jubilee.
Bayless continued with his same opinion of the two stars, stating that Jordan was a better shooter than LeBron James in every aspect of the sport. However, a James fan sitting on the opposite side of the debate seemingly roasted Bayless with his comebacks supporting the King in the James-Jordan debate. The fan claimed James’ shooting was better than Jordan’s in the Playoffs.
He also claimed that the Los Angeles Lakers legend had a better ‘true shooting %’ than Jordan overall in the regular season and in the Playoffs, which is true. To this, the NBA community in general had wild reactions as they chimed in with their reactions. Per the fans, the ‘James fan’ cooked Bayless on the YouTube channel.
Jordan’s titles, competitive nature, especially with the Chicago Bulls, and his supposedly flawless Finals record are frequently the focal points of Bayless’s arguments. Although Bayless recognizes James’ remarkable endurance and statistical achievements, he continuously believes that Jordan is the “GOAT” of all time.
Given that, many believe that he could not defend his ‘GOAT’ in the 1v25 debate on the famous debate channel Jubilee. But he did give a fair try defending the Bulls legend against 25 strangers, something to take note of. All said and done, the GOAT debate is endless, with each one having different opinions about the two stars. Bayless’ actions have made headlines, something for the fans to ponder upon.
Fans troll Skip Bayless for recent 1v25 Michael Jordan-LeBron James debate
Skip Bayless does not seem to stop when it comes to the GOAT debate involving LeBron James and Michael Jordan. The NBA analyst always comes up with different topics to praise the Chicago Bulls legend and undermine the Lakers great. However, in a recent 1v25 James-Jordan debate, this was not the case, as a James fan got the better of him.
It’s safe to say that the NBA community loved the interaction. Many fans took to various social media apps and sites to put forward their views and thoughts on the debate. One fan wrote on X, “This is so embarrassing for Skip…. Omg this dude COOKED him.” Check out some of the reactions below:

He didn’t cook him, he just had a different and counter argument, that’s it…It’s all opinion anyway, this debate as a whole is cooked, arguing 2 Mt.Rushmore basketball players in itself is goofy

Both Jordan and James are in a class of their own. The four-time champion, a force of nature, is shattering records with his combination of athleticism and basketball IQ, proving to be the pinnacle of professionalism. On the other hand, Jordan’s legacy is carved in championships and an unrivaled competitive spirit with the Chicago Bulls through the 1990s.
Skip Bayless has ‘always’ supported Michael Jordan over LeBron James
For years, Skip Bayless has chosen Michael Jordan over LeBron James in the GOAT debate. So much so that even when James broke the 40,000 points mark in 2024, Bayless did not give him his credit. Instead, he sugar-coated Jordan, claiming that Jordan had the most NBA final wins, changing the narrative completely back in 2024.
Michael Jordan led the NBA in scoring 10 times — to just once for LeBron James. MJ also won a Defensive Player of the Year — LeBron none. MJ: 6-0 in Finals with 6 MVPs. LeBron has as many Finals losses as MJ had wins. But who remembers any of that tonight?

One year after breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar‘s record to become the all-time top scorer, the Los Angeles Lakers became the first player to reach the 40,000-point mark against the Denver Nuggets last year.
Despite the ongoing controversy and the fervent defenses of each fan’s favorite legend, there is no denying that these two titans are the greatest in the history of basketball.
