“KD joined the flow and he fitted right into the system” Skip Bayless believes LeBron James envies Kevin Durant’s success rate with Warriors

Kevin Durant and LeBron James
Kevin Durant was one player whose emergence changed the dynamics of newly-shaped Golden State Warriors. With Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson already present, Durant’s presence in the Dub Nation, made sure that Steve Kerr’s team was impossible to stop. This has led sports media personality, Skip Bayless to once again take a dig at LeBron James after his recent comments.
To those who are not aware, in a clip that went viral from the unreleased episode of the Shop, LeBron James could be spotted choosing Golden State Warriors over Boston Celtics as the team he would like to play for in the 2022 NBA Finals (if he had a choice). This was enough for Bayless to once again launch an attack on the Los Angeles Lakers star.
Skip Bayless disses LeBron James with latest Durant take
Speaking on the latest episode of Undisputed with co-host Shannon Sharpe, Bayless opined that LeBron James’ comments were starting to become disrespectful towards the Lakers front office. The 70-year-old analyst pointed out that Bron’s words were intentional to say the least.
He said, “Why does he keep bringing this up? If you’re Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka and now Darvin Ham, do you love it that he keeps suggesting, ‘How about me and Golden State?’ If I’m Jeanie Buss, I’m not pleased with this because LeBron James just keeps on keeping on and now you’ve got a new coach.
“Right on top of Darvin Ham’s pretty sensational opening salvo press conference, I was impressed, I liked it. He was doing, ‘I’m the new sheriff in town,’ and Rob Pelinka was talking about ‘this is a great day for Laker basketball.’ Your best player is talking about Golden State. He’s dropping more hints about Golden State.”
LeBron James has fought against Durant’s Warriors in four consecutive NBA Finals. Given that he has seen the in-and-outs of the Dubs, it is even possible that James is well aware of their true potential on the grandest stage. But does Bayless’ opinion hold still in deep water? And does it hold any truth? Hopefully time will unravel all answers.
“The point is Lebron envies what Kevin did because Kevin got to join that flow and he fit right in because he’s very efficient and he’s not a ball hog. He’s not a gunner. So, Kevin Durant was able to do exactly what he does best within the confines of an offense that clearly featured him just enough that he would be the MVP of back-to-back finals.”
He concluded, “So, Lebron sort of looks at, gee I wish I could do what Kevin did, except Kevin did it to Lebron in back-to-back finals. So, I think there’s still some envy there, ‘I wish I could do that.’ Unfortunately, you are a Laker, you’re being paid a ton of money by the Lakers for at least one more year.“
