  • Skip Bayless is humble as he points out how much LeBron James had to overcome in winning his first ever Championship and Finals MVP. Skip Bayless applauds LeBron, and congratulates him on his success. Stephen A. Smith responds

      ..anytime anyone criticizes 1 of the 10 best ever I laugh ....he has accomplished so much..any negatives are just petty splitting hairs and very biased way of trying to bring down one of the all time greats..end of story...with no off court drama like Kobe mj magic shaq all had or injury issues like bird ...

I justed hated that Miami didn't go 4-0 or at least 3-1, but it happens doesn't take away from LeBron greatest at all. Also makes me miss the Indian, Celtics, Spurs, Mavs (which is historically underrated) and Laker teams previous 2years last of good Kobe before injury, especially the thunder who everyone pick in 2k at the time. some good basketball those times.
