I been watching the NBA since early 90s 2000s. And I've never seen a player turn up in the post season like King James. he does just enough to make it in the post season. not a cavs fan, but damn James turns into a beast when people doubt him
jwill1218 its been like this for years man. i feel bad for lebron that some people actually listen to skip. lebrons sealing the deal of a top 2 player of all time right now.
jwill1218 the point is to be subjective man, everyone acts like LeBron does no wrong when he like every player ever has made mistakes. At least skip doesn't fear hate and actually calls him out
whats the point in calling yourself objective when you never give props to the guy? If you can call him out for making a mistake, than you should call yourself out when he proves you wrong. That's called accountability. Also....where is this objectivity at when speaking about kawhi or tebow, or romo, or Brady or anyone else?
Alex Ryder first off, it would be being OBJECTIVE not subjective. second, not everyone has to be Shannon or be skip. Shannon praises lebron like crazy, but its still holds water until.the cavs are eliminated. skip constantly tries to down lebron anytime he can, when a guy hits a late 3 to ice the game and you say he can't close, that is far from objective. People should gibe credit where its due and talk bad when someone actually deserves it..
How can you be objective about the series LeBron played? He dominated the series like he does almost every series he's ever been in. It's a shame he played an incredible series like that and Skip still has to find a reason why it wasn't LeBron destroying the team but makes the case why the other team isn't doing what they're supposed to do.
KION BROWN Lebron is playing sensational for his whole career. skips main argument against him is two late turnovers and Ray Allens shot. In a game were Lebron himself was playing great again overall. so he's basically thrashing the dudes 14 year career because of 2 minutes. think about that...
True, That's crazy when you think about it. He also brings up the finals vs Dallas whenever he gets the chance. LeBron is my all time favorite player and it amazes me that if you're a Jordan or Kobe fan you can't be a fan of LeBron because he is so great and their fans don't want to admit that he might be better than the both of them.
KION BROWN totally agree. LBJ is a better all around player than both. I got no problem if people wanna say MJ had the best record in playoffs and finals all-time, but better than LBJ overall... Nah. Honestly, people who never bring up Kareem in the GOAT discussion are disrespectful, or who put Kobe ahead of him.
Michael Hillanbrand Mike is better than LBJ though, throw in Kobe as well. Both dudes ain't touching him when it comes to everything from clutchness/accomplishments/finals etc. What's disrespectful is how LBJ somehow has leapfrogged a bunch of legends including MJ/Russell/Kareem etc.
Joe Noda He doesn’t shoot below 60% He is on 74.4% career free throw shooting percentage. So shooting below 60% would be a reason to criticise but he didn’t shoot 60%.
man some people are dumb... 1:10 he's argument is that "paul george is making lebron james look clutch" i.e the 4-0 sweep is not as impressive as it looks, because the cavs were matched up against a team with 1 star player who is nowhere near as good as Lebron. When did he ever say "its lebrons fault that PG didn't play good?"
DabAndFap except he's been doing it for so long now it's obvious he's a hater and only looks for evidence to suit his opinion he needs a new job working at fox news
LEBRON JAMES DOES NOT HAVE A CLUTCH GENE RAY ALLEN SAVED LEBRONS CAREER BY THE MAKING THE MOST CLUTCH SHOT I HAVE EVER SEEN WHICH MEANT MY SPURS HAD TO GO INTO A GAME 7
Bc FS1 is a new market they wanna get their name out there n views up. Espn is huge and has insane tv deals, they dont want free viewers. Its not bc FS1 is "cooler"
John Pange in all honesty Paul George is miles ahead of dion but I've seen dion close the heck out of games this year in the Heat's surge, I haven't seen Paul do that
I could summarize this video before I watch it. Skip will criticize LeBron for nearly averaging a triple double, he will bring up the fact that LeBron isn't a "closer" oh and for some reason that doesn't matter he will say Ray Allen saved his career with his game 6 saving three pointer 😑
Did I just hear Skip say Rondo's Bulls? Like the Bulls are not Jimmy Butler's team, and then to say that they would of beat the Cavs in the series WTF am I watching?
jerry carrasquillo Apparently, they ARE Rondo's Bulls since they've basically forgotten how to play without him and couldn't sniff a win at home after stealing 2 in Boston. If Butler's so good, he could have gotten Chicago a win at home.
Jude Servan Abaya He had the audacity, as an 18 year old, to aspire to be as great as Mike and to own the "Chosen One" title that the media put on him. Skip can't forgive that because, as we all know, teenagers who grew up in poverty with one parent have a great sense of judgement.
Lebron is gonna shatter EVERY single stat imaginable if he continues to play like this, but the ONLY thing that'll keep him from being the GOAT to "most" people r rings
Isaiah Martin If that's the case bill Russell is goat. I see Lebron as the best basketball player ever because of all he does I'm pretty sure by the time he retires he will be in the top 10 in like all categories and have like 4 or 5 rings. But getting to the finals as many times as he has is insane.
Isaiah Martin bill russel played in a league of 13 teams 8 at one point, he does not count in the GOAT discussion MJ does cause he played in the same or better league as Lebrón and is 6-0 and has 6 finals mvp and 5 mvp vs 3-4 3 finals mvp and 4 mvp, listen Lebrón is great he is just not MJ, he has done less in more seasons, he is great he is not MJ and thats ok
I agree with almost everything you said about Jordan... But Jordan competition was pretty weak also. Dude had no one in his position to compete with... Closing thing is Drexler but that's like comparing Lebron to PG. Jordan in his position during the Finals faced Byron Scott, Drexler, Majerle, Hawkins, and Hornacek... While Pippen guards the best perimeter player on the other team... While Lebron battled with guys like KD, Kawhi, Iggy during the Finals... And then with guys Melo, Pierce, Artest, PG, Granger, Kirilenko throughout his whole career. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting many more.
All those guys I mentioned are a lot better than who Jordan faced at his position throughout his whole career... All I'm saying is that Jordan is far from perfect like many of his fans claims. Everyone like to bring up Lebron's competition but ignoring Jordan's competition... Jordan never faced a team as stack and talented as the Spurs and the Warriors in the finals... Usually a team that contains of 1 or 2 stars the most. While Jordan have 3-4 in his team.
They need to take this video down for Skip's sake. lol. Hes one of the smartest men in sports broadcasting, but his hate for Lebron is becoming flat out embarrassing.
Cris Mike I KNOW how skip is with LeBron but regardless if LeBron wasn't in this conversation he'd be hating on Paul George the same way. Are you not understanding what I'm saying?
At the end of the Eastern Conference Finals, the best team will be there. In the NBA they play a 7 game series for a reason, so that you can't just have one good night. You need to consistently perform and win a 7 game series, with that being said, the best team will be there in the Finals representing the East. For the past 6 years, I've watched Skip say how LeBron won't overcome a crossroad or hypothetically if he met a team he would lose, and then I've proceeded to watch LeBron get to the Finals every year. If the Bulls are good enough to beat the Cavs, they will be in the Eastern Conference Finals and they will beat the Cavs. If they're eliminated, they weren't good enough and once again Skip's argument is invalid, simply because it's another delusional hypothetical.
Exactly but that is the point I'm making, everyone knows LBJ and the Cavs will go to the Finals. The point I am making is that Skip's criticism of LBJ is that if he came up against the Bulls or the Heat he would lose. Two teams, one barely made the playoffs and the other didn't. Meanwhile LBJ's team has been to the last 6 NBA Finals and they just swept the Pacers, and you have Skip Bayless acting as if it's a given he would lose to both the Heat and the Bulls. I understand saying they may have won a game or maybe even two, but to say that he would lose is ridiculous, and the worst part is that Skip acts as if he is 100% right and there's no chance LBJ wins AGAINST NON PLAYOFF TEAMS/8TH SEEDS IN THE EAST.
I already understood Skip, when LeBron loses he says they lost because of him missing this or that shot, or for free throw percentage or three point percentage (I mean, it is very rare to have a perfect game and lose and Skip points what he has done bad) When he wins or it was because of teammates or because of the opposition failed, I mean last final it was because Curry didnt step up to make a three like Irving did, this series was Paul George. I mean of course that when Lebron plays unbelievably good that hurts the opposition perfomance, and by doing that he just says he did good because of opposition performance.
2 things that are obvious from the pacers series: 1. Lebron is still the best player in the league. 2. the cavs are not nearly as good as last year as a whole
Chefsteph for 3 I disagree dude, cavs and warriors have both allowed 100 plus points to their first round rivals, their match ups have been a bit harder. Besides cavs showed in game 3 that their defense is great, holding Indiana to only 30 something points in the second quarter. Cavs defense will be great when they face the raptors.

Michael Pascua no the fact is if ur not a kid u know that james is not the best top ten maybe number 8 or 9 but not 1 and think hes sick of people saying hes the best ever which he's not...hes one of the best im not gunna argue that but not number 1
I am no kid. Hopefully your a mature adult. I didn't say he was number 1 yet, cause the dude is still playing. I would say he is currently top 5. but i'm not gonna argue with you on who your top ten players cause frankly everbody's choice is different. My point is Skip will never have anything good to say about Lebron. Skip argues as if he hates the guy and who he is.
7:29 Shannon at this moment displays mastery over debating Skip, without having to hoop or holler, he gets him with the "Oh ok" argument over George to Boston from the trade deadline and flat lines him with the "Look who isn't walking through that door in the draft" cheese. My man 😎
saw an interesting stat pop up during game 4: win % for Lebron-led teams entering the 4th quarter of a playoff-game with a lead of 10 points or more: 51-0. 100%. now 52-0. skip bayless: Lebron cant close.
Why does everything have to fall on Paul George? If it wasn't for him they wouldn't even be able to catch the fragrance of a play off game! Skip is in the Twilight Zone as usual!
Kameron Levingston22 I agree with you. However I think deep down his views are made to get ratings. If he agreed with the consensus that makes sense, it wouldn't really be controversial enough to drag the show time out. That's just my opinion though. It would be pretty boring if both of them always agreed on topics.
MR NICEGUY ...childish by telling him to just delete and try again? I never insulted the person, didn't call them any type of name, just made a simple observation of how do you edit it (2nd try) and still get it wrong.
@Cameron you must be from Indiana lol they had no chance from the beginning. The East is still weak and I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavs sweep the next team in the 2nd round.
Brad Lamb no one thinks they are going to repeat but to say they would lose to the bulls or heat is nonsense they will not go more than 6 games in a series until the NBA finals
Brad Lamb When he goes off and if they play like they did in game 3 they will repeat. Skip is spewing nonsense. Lebron played a great series but he was only good because Paul George is bad, that's what skip is saying.
*sees Skip/Shannon are going to talk about Cavs sweep. Clicks on video* Skip- "Somebody on the desk has to be a little objective" Turns off video immediately
Skip appreciates Lebron, he has to do this because its what people watch. His role is to hate and shannon's role to support. Otherwise it would be boring.
I thought that Stephen A.was the reason that made First TAKE good, I was wrong...SKIP was the heart of First take, gosh when i think of max and him trying to disagree with SaS just for the sake of disagreeing i get goosebumps...
Will the Cavs win the title this year?
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 yes
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 yes
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 no lmao good joke tho
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 Skip you are the biggest hater on the planet!
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 Yes
Alright, so Lebron is to blame for the fact that PG is not on his level? Got ya Skip. Makes total sense.
Kai D. Right lol, you can't do anything but laugh at skip man.
Ghost Boy Or take Skip to the Drug Rehab!
lebron clearly shut Paul George down just like he shut curry down in the finals.
Armani Smith he didn't shut down PG he was being trapped and doubled team since his team didn't stand up
Kai D. Rewatch it because he obviously didn't say anything close to that
this dude really said the heat and bulls would beat the cavs
Skip is a fool!
Joshhieyify Very unlikely but no one on the east was playing as good as the heat with waiters post all star break.
Aye the heat would've took them to 7 though.
Aye the heat would've took them to 7 though.
Ghost Boy they couldnt even make it to the playoffs
skip drinks to much haterade
Liam Spady Skip Bayless is just delusional.
Only Skip Bayless could say Paul George is nowhere near lebrons level and make it sound like an insult to LBJ
So once again, Skip makes excuses..
I been watching the NBA since early 90s 2000s. And I've never seen a player turn up in the post season like King James. he does just enough to make it in the post season. not a cavs fan, but damn James turns into a beast when people doubt him
Chick Magnet real recognize real 🙌🏽
And people will still have the audacity to say he sucks smh.
no. Jordan was good all year. no doubt. but It's something about the post season where James just buckles down and becomes King James
Chick Magnet
Did you tape Mike's games and forgot to watch them?
eazyduzit5150 Who is he
skip bayless objective about LeBron James?hahaha lmfao
city 2007 we need Chris Broussard for objective
Lebron went off games 3 and 4. That's why skip is spewing non sense, he can't criticize anything Lebron actually did, because all he did was go off.
So wait didn't LeBron hit a 3 to ice the game. Isn't that what we call closing? 🤔🤔🤔
jwill1218 its been like this for years man. i feel bad for lebron that some people actually listen to skip. lebrons sealing the deal of a top 2 player of all time right now.
jwill1218 the point is to be subjective man, everyone acts like LeBron does no wrong when he like every player ever has made mistakes. At least skip doesn't fear hate and actually calls him out

+Michael Hillanbrand mj is better than lebron by a foot lebron is better than kobe by a mile.
Lebron could have 100 points and go like 45-50 from the feild and skip would criticize him for the 5 shots he missed.
are you saying shooting below 60% of your free throws in the playoffs isn't worth critisizing???
Joe Noda
He doesn’t shoot below 60%
He is on 74.4% career free throw shooting percentage.
So shooting below 60% would be a reason to criticise but he didn’t shoot 60%.
Did Skip just say its Lebrons fault that Paul George didn't play good? Ha
David Avery It is because he had him on lock in games 3 and 4
man some people are dumb... 1:10 he's argument is that "paul george is making lebron james look clutch" i.e the 4-0 sweep is not as impressive as it looks, because the cavs were matched up against a team with 1 star player who is nowhere near as good as Lebron. When did he ever say "its lebrons fault that PG didn't play good?"
are you serious skip is such a LeBron hater its crazy
DabAndFap except he's been doing it for so long now it's obvious he's a hater and only looks for evidence to suit his opinion he needs a new job working at fox news
DabAndFap Buddy, what you just said is the most stupid thing I have ever heard.
Now that Deron Williams plays with LeBron now all of a sudden hes cold😂😂😂
Knicks 4 Life D. Will been nice.
Robin Hall Nah d will got cut by Dallas
Gabriel singleton
He got cut bc he was the odd man out with Yogi and Curry playing well. Barea was returning too, D-Will just kept getting hurt.
Skip still can't give LECLUTCH his credit smh.
Ghost Boy Leclutch I love lebron but idk about that one
Blane Ries he is clutch...
Blane Ries Then you don't love Lebron. He's more clutch than Kobe. Look up Lebron clutch plays
LEBRON JAMES DOES NOT HAVE A CLUTCH GENE RAY ALLEN SAVED LEBRONS CAREER BY THE MAKING THE MOST CLUTCH SHOT I HAVE EVER SEEN WHICH MEANT MY SPURS HAD TO GO INTO A GAME 7
RossiM He brought them back for that final shot.
This man just called Paul George "fools gold" and "a poor mans LeBron James." If I'm PG it's time to fight lol that was soooo disrespectful
St23Vincent it low key was
St23Vincent Lebron > kawhi > PG
DabAndFap 💯
It's low key facts tho...
I love how Fox Sports actually posts on RUclips while First Take gets posted by random accounts
Espn do post first take, also
Kawhi Clamp God since this month but before no. And they post like 2 mins worth of clips
ESPN wanted to leave RUclips because of Red so they weren't posting anything for a while. They realized how stupid that is about a month ago
They also realised not everyone is in the USA and were ignoring a huge market of foreign NBA fans that DON'T have ESPN in their countries.
Bc FS1 is a new market they wanna get their name out there n views up. Espn is huge and has insane tv deals, they dont want free viewers. Its not bc FS1 is "cooler"
Come one skip, ur gonna call paul george "fools gold" but then say lebron is fearful of dion waiters? Lmao STOHP SKEEUP
John Pange in all honesty Paul George is miles ahead of dion but I've seen dion close the heck out of games this year in the Heat's surge, I haven't seen Paul do that
Patrick McGregor Paul George has more talent in his pinky toenail then dion waiters
dion is actually clutch
Mike C he has one decent season lol calm down there
George >waiters..... why is this even a damn discussion
Lebron is 10/10 defense in clutch moments and games, 9/10 in last 5 mins and 7/10 in clutch offense to win a game
I would love to see Skip and Kristine vs Colin and Nick in a lebron debate.
With Chris Broussard as referee
I would give good money for that.
Makuochi Igwe would it turn you on?
This should be hilarious, it's like locking bama and auburn fans in the same room during the iron bowl.
YES PLEASE
Makuochi Igwe nick and colin would DEMOLISH skip and kristine, because nick and colin bring FACTS and the other two just go off feeling
six man tag :- Whitlock, Kristine and Skip vs Colin Shannon and Nick
I could summarize this video before I watch it. Skip will criticize LeBron for nearly averaging a triple double, he will bring up the fact that LeBron isn't a "closer" oh and for some reason that doesn't matter he will say Ray Allen saved his career with his game 6 saving three pointer 😑
William Mason Sad thing is is that you're right
William Mason You cheated.
William Mason Don't fool yourself #lmao You watched the whole clip, bumass.
Anything Crazy how he cheat skip saysvthe same thing about lebron every time
Skip can't even praise LeBron so he changes the topic to degrade PG, THAT'S how much he hates LBJ.
Did I just hear Skip say Rondo's Bulls? Like the Bulls are not Jimmy Butler's team, and then to say that they would of beat the Cavs in the series WTF am I watching?
jerry carrasquillo Right! Like LeBron hasn't beaten the Bulls with DRose, Butler, Taj Gibson & Joakim Noah
jerry carrasquillo He's desperate
jerry carrasquillo Apparently, they ARE Rondo's Bulls since they've basically forgotten how to play without him and couldn't sniff a win at home after stealing 2 in Boston. If Butler's so good, he could have gotten Chicago a win at home.
drlee2 plus Wade who has 3 rings
I knew the whole season they needed rondo to win they just now realizing it is terrible timing.
Skip will retire when lebron retires. He should pay lebron a cut of his pay check. His made a career from criticizing the king
Wtf Truu lol so true
Welp Paul George, you got ya last second shot😂👀
So much hate in this one. What did LeBron do to you skip??
Jude Servan Abaya He had the audacity, as an 18 year old, to aspire to be as great as Mike and to own the "Chosen One" title that the media put on him.
Skip can't forgive that because, as we all know, teenagers who grew up in poverty with one parent have a great sense of judgement.
Omar Lozano yes, you get it!
The title should be "Skip Bayless reacts to LeBron's performance in Cavaliers' sweep of Pacers" not "LeBon's"
Lebron is gonna shatter EVERY single stat imaginable if he continues to play like this, but the ONLY thing that'll keep him from being the GOAT to "most" people r rings
Isaiah Martin If that's the case bill Russell is goat. I see Lebron as the best basketball player ever because of all he does I'm pretty sure by the time he retires he will be in the top 10 in like all categories and have like 4 or 5 rings.

Isaiah Martin bill russel played in a league of 13 teams 8 at one point, he does not count in the GOAT discussion MJ does cause he played in the same or better league as Lebrón and is 6-0 and has 6 finals mvp and 5 mvp vs 3-4 3 finals mvp and 4 mvp, listen Lebrón is great he is just not MJ, he has done less in more seasons, he is great he is not MJ and thats ok
I agree with almost everything you said about Jordan... But Jordan competition was pretty weak also. Dude had no one in his position to compete with... Closing thing is Drexler but that's like comparing Lebron to PG. Jordan in his position during the Finals faced Byron Scott, Drexler, Majerle, Hawkins, and Hornacek...

And then with guys Melo, Pierce, Artest, PG, Granger, Kirilenko throughout his whole career. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting many more.
baldpnoy410 i mean outside of KD and khawi all of those players dont compare either, and he has lost to khawi already
All those guys I mentioned are a lot better than who Jordan faced at his position throughout his whole career... All I'm saying is that Jordan is far from perfect like many of his fans claims. Everyone like to bring up Lebron's competition but ignoring Jordan's competition... Jordan never faced a team as stack and talented as the Spurs and the Warriors in the finals... Usually a team that contains of 1 or 2 stars the most. While Jordan have 3-4 in his team.
They need to take this video down for Skip's sake. lol. Hes one of the smartest men in sports broadcasting, but his hate for Lebron is becoming flat out embarrassing.
.... did you really just say Skip Bayless is one of the smartest sports analyst? lol
Darneh Jefferson the white guy on espn first take, NOT MAX, the other guy is the smartest one by far.
Darneh Jefferson he is smart. But his hate for Lebron makes him look stupid
SerlingPictures Your thinking of Legs right? pls don't tell me ur thinking of Will Cain.
No he is the dumbest person in spirts wtf you talkin about dude is a delusional idiot
I think skip needs a dose of mark Cuban, who schooled him when he was an analyst at ESPN .
He bad mouthing PG13 hard!!
Jesus Christ skip, let it go. LeBron is great
Skip just mad because he knows Lebron going to win the Finals
It's so upsetting that he's a Spurs fan, cause I kinda wanna root for LB because of Skip, I'm from SA
here take this free of charge L.....
You spelled getting 5th finals Ls wrong
Win the finals in his dreams you mean
Nothing is guaranteed man.
Man I was waiting for that skieuuuuup! at the end
The amount of disrespect Skip gives Paul George is a crime.
HE does that just to undermine LeBron James as much as possible.
Cris Mike .. and that is even worse imo
Cris Mike lol this one really has nothing to do with LeBron. Skip always been a Paul George hater
Theresa Smith I've been watching Skip since I was a kid. I'm in college now. You completely underestimate the hate skip has for LeBron.
Cris Mike I KNOW how skip is with LeBron but regardless if LeBron wasn't in this conversation he'd be hating on Paul George the same way. Are you not understanding what I'm saying?

Exactly but that is the point I'm making, everyone knows LBJ and the Cavs will go to the Finals.

ROLANDA B raptors are trash tho
ROLANDA B cavs didn't win against a mediocre pacers team by 10 once. thats not a good sign
Cavs also struggled against Detroit Pistons in 1st round playoffs last year. Cavs got better as they went deeper into the playoffs.
RookieN08 it wasn't this bad they legit blew a double digit lead every game except pt game 3
Paul George Iz Fool's Gold😂😂😂😂 Damn Skip
Bro what is Skip even talking about lol
4:27 "Did you see the 'D' " LOLL
Who is that LeBon there in the title?
Skip go on. You are objective and right.

What does this have to do with anything?

I love when he keeps callin him a "Poor man's lebron"😂😂😂😂😂
Before watching I predict Skip will bring up Ray Allens shot or Kyrie's clutch 3
Ah yes my daily intake of stand up comedy
Skip Bayless is the biggest Lebron James troll.
The king had spoken nexxxttt
Once Skip finally retires, I feel he will forever be remembered as that one Lebron James hater analyst.
Michael Pascua you mean he tells the facts about James
Yeah only specific facts that shows he hates the guy, and leave EVERYTHING else out.
Michael Pascua no the fact is if ur not a kid u know that james is not the best top ten maybe number 8 or 9 but not 1 and think hes sick of people saying hes the best ever which he's not...hes one of the best im not gunna argue that but not number 1
I am no kid. Hopefully your a mature adult. I didn't say he was number 1 yet, cause the dude is still playing. I would say he is currently top 5. but i'm not gonna argue with you on who your top ten players cause frankly everbody's choice is different. My point is Skip will never have anything good to say about Lebron. Skip argues as if he hates the guy and who he is.
7:29 Shannon at this moment displays mastery over debating Skip, without having to hoop or holler, he gets him with the "Oh ok" argument over George to Boston from the trade deadline and flat lines him with the "Look who isn't walking through that door in the draft" cheese. My man 😎
Skip is a hater! Bron aint a closer? He decent! Skip been a hater, Paul George is good too!
THE GREATEST ATHLETE
THE GREAT KING OF THE EAST! THE LION!
THE AKRON HAMMER!
THE CHOSEN ONE!
LEBRON JAMES👑🦁💪
saw an interesting stat pop up during game 4:
win % for Lebron-led teams entering the 4th quarter of a playoff-game with a lead of 10 points or more: 51-0. 100%. now 52-0.
skip bayless: Lebron cant close.
Anton Poell Damn Shannon would hav slapped Skip in the face with this fact.
I like when Shannon says "I'm a ringer Skip!"...lol
Why does everything have to fall on Paul George? If it wasn't for him they wouldn't even be able to catch the fragrance of a play off game! Skip is in the Twilight Zone as usual!
these two are great on the show
A poor man's LeBron.
Ghost Boy lol he always calls him that
I admire that skip is giving Lebron credit the stats show hard work in the series :)
i cant stand dudes like skip who never played the sport & dont understand the sport cause he never played....lol this is #ShanonShow
Kameron Levingston22 I agree with you. However I think deep down his views are made to get ratings. If he agreed with the consensus that makes sense, it wouldn't really be controversial enough to drag the show time out. That's just my opinion though. It would be pretty boring if both of them always agreed on topics.
true someone gotta look dumb lol
Skip has no point other than to contradict himself with hypotheticals. He is living in his own lunchbox
Lebron has saved the world by beating the monstars by Winning 82. -80 ( skip) Lebron James played terrible the monstars ruined. The game lol
Rodger Goodell why??your corny two thumbs down
Rodger Goodell ...how do you edit this and your sentence still has errors and makes zero sense... just delete and try again, its that simple
bert luis his sentence does make sense you are just being childish you know he didn't mean to put the full stop there
MR NICEGUY ...childish by telling him to just delete and try again? I never insulted the person, didn't call them any type of name, just made a simple observation of how do you edit it (2nd try) and still get it wrong.
I got two words concerning Lebron and the Cavs to Skip Bayless, "Switch! On!"
Pacers were a trash team. Let's be real the Cavs not gonna see any real competition until the Finals.
willemdee your reply makes no sense....
The Pacers had no chance from the beginning and got swept. What's confusing about my reply to you @P Dun?
@Cameron you must be from Indiana lol they had no chance from the beginning. The East is still weak and I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavs sweep the next team in the 2nd round.
willemdee ..Same as last year. Same as the year before. So what has changed? Nothing.
@Kalu thank you, some people are so delusional man lol no comp in the East. NONE.
PG has a gatorade commercial where hes the closer lol
Skip definately has an argument. You all act like LeBron sweeping a .500 team means they're gonna repeat the NBA title
Brad Lamb no one thinks they are going to repeat but to say they would lose to the bulls or heat is nonsense they will not go more than 6 games in a series until the NBA finals
Brad Lamb it is because his other two star teamates aren't playing like stars.
Brad Lamb When he goes off and if they play like they did in game 3 they will repeat. Skip is spewing nonsense. Lebron played a great series but he was only good because Paul George is bad, that's what skip is saying.
Brad Lamb he doesn't have a point. they swept them end of story.
MR NICEGUY I can point out at least 10 fanboys in this comment section that said Cleveland is gonna repeat
I JUST ASKED YOU A QUESTION SKIP IM AGREEING WITH YOU..DANNNGGG!!😂😂
Skip still talking about avoiding, you don't avoid in the playoffs you play who you get
Skip is disrespectful! "Poor man's Lbj"? That man balled out! Elite scorer!
Skip Bayless gets paid to argue a pointlees debate all the time on national t.v.
Misspelling LeBron in the title when the entire show is basically about The King.
Skip is smoking something here not only did he disrespect a great player but he's just trying to make the sweep look like anybody could do it.
Skip had a dish of hate on his plate for dinner last night, followed by a glass of sprite
LMFAOOOO, I PRAY TO GOD I SEE A HACK-A-BRON NEXT SERIES. HE PROMISED TO SHOOT IN THE 80's ‼️💀
how much does skip and shannon love arguing whit each otherXD
Both of these guys are outrageous when it comes to Lebron.
Skip Bayless lives his life on would've could've should've.
Just once I would love to see Lebron look at the camera and say " Hey Skip, you mad?"
You can tell skip is having a lot more fun here on undisputed than he did on first take even though the topics are more or less the same.
Skip is blind when it comes to seeing how great a closer Bron Bron is!
#EyesClosedWide!
Why is the videos always cut short????
I love Shannon. He's the best sports guy out there.
let's not forget the NBA eliminating the divisional win reward has changed playoffs seedlings as well
Skip be hitting peoples nerves lol!
Articulate insults. That Skip is something else
Wondering when the real skip Bayless was coming back. Had a dream when skip was praising/rooting for Lebron.
i bet skip has a tatoo of lebron on his back lool. He is basically Helga from Hey Arnold
6:57 - 7:02. Dead. 😂😂😂😂😂 "an affeeeeeeeect"
*sees Skip/Shannon are going to talk about Cavs sweep. Clicks on video*
Skip- "Somebody on the desk has to be a little objective"
Turns off video immediately
Skip's Mountain Dew has been spiked again.
LeBron has been a closer since his early cav days but due to the scorers on his team he's taken a step back when he shouldn't
Skip appreciates Lebron, he has to do this because its what people watch. His role is to hate and shannon's role to support. Otherwise it would be boring.
I thought that Stephen A.was the reason that made First TAKE good, I was wrong...SKIP was the heart of First take, gosh when i think of max and him trying to disagree with SaS just for the sake of disagreeing i get goosebumps...
Skip thinks the bulls would beat the cavs? My goodness he will say anything
Damn this show is SO much better than "First Take".
LeShannon lookin like lebron at 3:20 lol
cant understand how can Skip so wrong on lebron and shannon on westbrook...
Skip really is a headass lol, I miss him with Stephen A.
I can't lie I dont miss seeing Skip talk about sports.
