MJ stayed in CHI and played against HoF and great players n teams. LBJ left and needed help to win Chips. End of story. Kobe was and is 1000x better than LeFlop.

Skip Bayless is a disease. If he had even a quarter of the talent, attitude, and temperament of his brother Rick, he’d be… well, not Skip. That is, he’d be a real man, and not this weak, washed-up, worthless bag of bones that they carted out onto First Take earlier.

This is great. And weβre also that much closer to Skip vs Shannon again

I hope Jordan has sent Skip Christmas cards with money inside for all the years of unwavering loyalty. We know #23 was the best, but to Skip it’s like religion. Etched in stone like The Ten Commandments.

Only reason that ESPN brought back this clown is because the viewership is GOING DOWN πππ People are tired of Stephen A talk down LeBron, now they bring this clown back so Stephen A can defend Bron πππ
People is tired of these two.
Slowly people realize all the bias against lebron and now consider him the GOAT πππ we done with the 90βs.. you all soon will die out of the airwaves πππ
