Skip Bayless made a shocking revelation on Tuesday night while the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks played Game 1 of the 2021 NBA Finals. The veteran analyst enjoyed the game like the rest of us, giving his takes on what he saw.
Of course, he had to criticize somebody and picked Giannis Antetokounmpo as his victim. While he praised Chris Paul (who played a great game), he went off on Antetokounmpo as soon as the Bucks announced he was playing.
Giannis is going to try to play. Advantage: Suns.

Once again, Chris Paul is playing like an NBA champion.

The Bucks obviously needed Brook Lopez to guard Ayton and bang with him down low. Instead, that assignment went to Giannis. Of course, Ayton put up historic numbers.

He even had the chance to say the Clippers would’ve been playing last night if it wasn’t for Joe Ingles hurting Kawhi Leonard in the second round of the playoffs.
If Joe Ingles hadn't bumped Kawhi off stride, and Kawhi hadn't been lost for the playoffs with a knee needing surgery, you'd be watching the Clippers right now on the way to winning the NBA championship.

Moreover, the biggest moment of the night came when he admitted he missed LeBron James. Absolutely nobody saw that coming, but Skip said it. The Fox Sports analyst hasn’t had much to say about the King since he was eliminated in the first round of the postseason at the hands of the Phoenix Suns.
I miss LeBron.

NBA fans went crazy after Skip sent the tweet, roasting him and his show for ‘lacking content’ now that LeBron is out of competition.

The Finals without LeBron aren’t the same for many people, and Skip must feel the same. He’s still trying to drag James into conversations and even claimed that the King congratulating Chris Paul after clinching Game 1 tells him a lot.
What did LeBron’s tweet last night about CP3 tell me? A whole lot. Now on @undisputed
— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) July 7, 2021
Bron is the most influential player in the league right now. Skip demonstrates that whenever he talks about the 4-time NBA champion.
