You must know Skip Bayless and his constant criticism towards LeBron James if you’re an avid NBA fan. He’s made a lot of money by talking trash about the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, which won’t change until LeBron retires from the game.
After 18 incredible years in the league, LeBron remains one of the best players on earth, while Skip is one of his biggest detractors. The controversial analyst recently took a shot at Bron, saying he’s no longer considered a top-2 player of all time.
James is always part of the GOAT debate with Michael Jordan. He’s either one or two on the all-time list, depending on who you ask. Well, now Skip has taken things to the next level, putting LeBron 9th on his all-time list, going against the entire world.
Even people who say Michael Jordan is the GOAT have LeBron as a top 3 player, but not the Fox Sports talent.
“That USA TODAY actually put LeBron James No. 2 on the all-time list? You’re kidding. What are you talking about… This is nothing but a politically correct choice. It’s because they don’t want to burn the bridge to LeBron and his inner-circle, who are very powerful. LeBron James is disqualified from the second spot on this list.”

As usual, fans let Bayless know what they thought about his top, blasting him for disrespecting not only LeBron but other players.
You a 🤡 if you put dudes that played in the weak ass 1960’s ahead of Lebron, Steph, KD, etc

People will obviously talk about Lebron being at 9.
But Kareem at 4 and below Shaq is absolutely criminal.
There’s a legit argument for Kareem being the best player to ever live.

I actually agree with this list. Except, I believe LeBron should be top 20 not top 10.

I understand the disrespect Kobe keeps getting. Because not in this world was Duncan ever better than him.
And why is Hakeem Olajuwon never in the top 10. Man changed the post game forever

Here’s the truth…
Jabbar is the REAL goat. NO ONE dominated basketball like he did from college to pro like him. As a freshman he wasn’t allowed to play varsity at UCLA. The difference between him, MJ and Bron is ESPN for MJ & social media for Bron. Jabbar had nothing like that

Replace Lebron with Hakeem and you are good.

This is how Skip has made money since The King entered the league. You won’t see him praise LeBron unless it’s forced. The 69-year-old won’t stop making bold claims about LeBron regardless of all the criticism he receives for it.
LBJ is hearing all the noise and will use it as fuel for this season. This revenge season might end with Bron winning his 5th NBA title, getting closer to Michael Jordan and shutting down his doubters again.
