Skip Bayless is constantly throwing shade at LeBron James. He has made himself a known name thanks to these actions and it doesn’t look like he’s stopping anytime soon.
With Anthony Davis ruled out for Game 5 of the Lakers first-round vs. the Phoenix Suns, LeBron James will have a bigger responsibility. This means no problem for him, as he claimed his shoulders were built to carry heavy loads.
Games 5 have a significant influence on the final outcomes of playoffs series and Bayless is well aware of that. So on Monday night, he took to social media to claim that this game will be the most important in LeBron James’ career.
Tomorrow night is the biggest game of LeBron James' career.

Of course, this is a stretch. LBJ is not facing elimination, and even if he losses the match, the Lakers will return to Los Angeles for Game 6.
Moreover, he doubled down on these comments, claiming that the Lakers superstar will make a statement against Michael Jordan if he wins this game.
“Michael Jordan is clearly and forever The GOAT. LeBron can’t do anything to change that. But I will give you this: tonight is a huge opportunity for him to make a resounding statement.”

Skip said that winning the title without Anthony Davis by his side would be massive for Bron, but still, it wouldn’t be enough to surpass MJ.
The Lakers face a big challenge tonight in front of the Suns. They will miss AD on the court, and Chris Paul is looking healthy for Phoenix. Frank Vogel, LeBron, and co. will have a lot to do if they want to snatch Game 5 from the Suns and return to the Staples Center in a comfortable position.
