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 we’re 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.

LeBron had 51 points and still didn’t shoot it. That’s what people don’t think about…

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

They not talking about the 16 straight points he hit to keep them in the game before missing that shot that led to Ray Allen clutching it
