FS1 personality Skip Bayless has been LeBron James’ biggest critic throughout the Lakers star’s NBA career. There really is no topic that’s off limits for Bayless when it comes to James — Bayless will find a way to take issue with it.
And now, it appears that Bayless is gearing up to give LeBron’s 17-year-old son, Bronny, similar treatment.
Bronny — the No. 49-ranked recruit in the class of 2023, according to 247Sports — has been playing in Europe this week with the California Basketball Club. And in Monday’s game against the U18 French Select squad, Bronny electrified the crowd with a poster dunk along with scoring a game-high 25 points.

Of course, Bayless saw the reaction to the dunk on social media and decided to take a jab at the teenager for dunking with the right hand from the left side of the basket.
Hey, Bronny … impressive. But your dad would've dunked it left-handed. You sure got away with it, though.

Like, seriously, what was the point of that tweet?
Bronny is a kid, and he had a great moment on national television. To comment about the hand he used for the dunk was petty and weird.
Understandably, fans were furious at Bayless for the unnecessary tweet.
