Fox Sports 1 personality Skip Bayless has had a reputation for years for being a harsh critic of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, even though, at times, he has actually praised James.
In fact, since the Lakers were reborn by several deals ahead of the trading deadline, Bayless has been praising the NBA’s all-time leading career scorer and his team more often than ever.
James’ Lakers take on Stephen Curry and the defending world champion Golden State Warriors in a Western Conference semifinal series that could turn into an instant classic. In a tweet right after the matchup was set, Bayless said he’s taking James over Curry.
Bring on Steph vs LeBron. I'm going with … LeBron.
— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) April 30, 2023
The way Bayless worded his tweet was somewhat vague, but it looks like he’s picking the Lakers to prevail in the series.
