Skip Bayless Reveals He Doesn’t Hate LeBron James And Explains Reasons Behind Harsh Criticism

We all know that Skip Bayless, who just signed a new four-year, $32 million contract with Fox, is one of the most controversial figures in the sports world.

We also know that Skip isn’t the biggest fan of LeBron James. He’s basically always looking for the one negative in a story about LeBron that gives you 99 out of 100 positive narratives.

But it turns out that Bayless actually thinks that LeBron James is a nice guy. He even hates the fact that people think he hates him. That’s what Skip revealed on one of the most recent episodes of Undisputed.

“I do think LeBron is a nice guy. In fact, I hate the perception that I hate LeBron James. Nothing galls me more than that perception. Because I do not hate LeBron. I do think he’s one of the nicest guys in sports history.

And yet, that’s the start of my problem with him because every day on Undisputed I have to defend my guy, the true GOAT, Michael Jordan against LeBron.

Because I sit across from a guy, Shannon Sharpe, who believes heart and soul that LeBron is the GOAT the greatest of all time. And that’s just blasphemy.”
