Lebron James, Skip Bayless

Famous Fox Sports Presenter and former ESPN commentator Skip Bayless once again attacked four-time NBA champion Lebron James. This came after the latter signed a $97 million deal with Los Angeles Lakers which will keep him in LA till the end of the 2024-25 season.

LeBron will make $200 million more than Brady … in 2 fewer seasons! That's bc Brady took a winner's discount to make his team better. So did Tim Duncan his last 4 yrs: 10 mil, 10 mil, 10 mil, 6 mil. Billionaire Bron: almost 50 mil in Yr 20 & 21! Lakers: no shot. Congrats, King

Lebron James’s stint at Lakers

Having lost the finals to the Warriors again in 2018, LeBron James found little to no reason to continue another season with the Cavaliers hence on July 1 2018. Lebron’s Management company Klutch sports announced that the four-time NBA will join the Lakers in the upcoming season but much to everyone’s dismay this season was marred by various injuries.

Additionally, it was the first time in the veteran’s previous 12 seasons that he didn’t make the All-NBA First Team. This was shortly to change, though, as Lebron was partnered with the Pelicans’ big man Anthony Davis the next season, and the two helped the team win its 17th NBA championship.

With the conclusion of the last season LeBron is all set to surpass leading All-time scorer Kareem Abdul Jabbar should he continue scoring at his pace of 27 points per game and stays clear of any injuries that may prevent him from doing so. James’ decision to stay with the Lakers also puts an end to ongoing rumours that he might leave as a free agent or in a trade. On social media and in his public appearances, James hasn’t shown any signs of leaving, and even applauded the hire of new Lakers coach Darvin Ham.

Stop comparing Duncan to LeBron. LeBron is almost 38 years of age, playing like a 28 year old and is still a top 10 player in the league. When Timmy was 38, he was solid, but not top of the top. It's a huge difference.
