Skip a generational hater. Honestly impressive

5:19 😂😂😂

I hate sports analysts like this that criticized a player which at the point he was right, but then when the player finally over comes his weakness and showed a different narrative and the analyst still harps on his criticism just give him love. I hate to give Max Kellerman credit as he keep saying Brady is going to fall off the cliff and he said Brady fell off the cliff in 2020 when he was in Tampa and then he won the superbowl and didn't criticize him and just gave him credit. It's not cheerleading journalism it's just giving someone credit and not pilling on!.

Didn’t it take MJ 7 or 8 years to win his first title, I guarantee Skip didn’t ask what took so long

Stephen A expressions 😂

SKIP is the WORST JUDGE OF TALENT I'V EVER SEEN IN MY "LIFE"....TRUMP SUPPORTER...Just another bumb ASS WHITE REPORTER....ALWAYS JEALOUS OF THE "BLACK" PLAYER💯

Angel Reese standing up clapping on the bench lol...

Skip speaking facts y’all just not hearing him

as an unbiased, long time nba fan. at the time, for somethings, he actually wasn’t wrong. the cavs where actually favored against that orlando team having won 66 games. their plan was simple, give lebron spacing for the paint and get good defenders and they did. i believe the cavs were also top 5 in defense and offense that year. so having lost to the magic without their starting point guard was still a disappointment i dont care what anyone says. yea the cavs team wasn’t great but they were still good and undoubtedly shoulda faced kobe in the finals since the Celtics were not healthy that year. and yes lebron played pretty well against the magic but if u look back at the games in the 4th for some of the plays lebron just wasn’t that good 🤷🏻‍♂️. his team also wasn’t good in the 4th either in 2010 while i still dont think they were beating the healthy Celtics squad, lebron shoulda played better. but i think lebron knew he was leaving the second the cavs declined the amare stoudimire trade. yea that cavs team was actually better than 07 but they still failed consistently to get lebron more help. i think what pissed people off is not that lebron left, its how he left kinda the same in 2011. lebron just couldn’t make plays down the stretch. he was awful in the 4th quarter against dallas. looking back skip is definitely a hater, but u cannot deny he was right about some things. i appreciate how lebron has grown tho and i look forward to seeing him play with his son. itll be different when he retires thats for sure

Le Brick James ehh? Had to leave Cleveland to get a ring. Won his first ring during a lockout season so who cares?

Kobe beating the Celtics with a broken finger in the right ha de should also be there.

👑

Wow time flies 😢.

Stephen A Smith man you said he won a world championship but it’s a NBA Championship 2 different things he said this on 8:08

Crazy now lebron has become the most clutch players in the post season

Well skip u not going to learn and win right away brother. You won’t know everything at 18.its a process listen to what doc said. He had to develop his game and IQ. He needed a well built team. That’s why it took long because lebron didn’t have a good supporting cast and organization as well as still needing to learn the game. Only way he can learn is going through adversity

Lebron took over

skip wasn’t wrong tho

skip the best yapper on espn history

Hahahahah love this

Skips takes are gonna start aging like the finest wine..

skip is a terrible human being bruh

To this day skip still a delusional hater

It’s 2024 I thought Bron didn’t play defense

I just I imagine what it’s like… to have the mindset of lbj haters. Even if everyone conceded that he was the 2nd best nba player of all time, how can you hate on him as much as you do?!?!? This guy is debatably the best if not outright 2nd best basketball player to ever have lived and he’s hated on/criticized more/downplayed more than any other player who has and probably ever will exist

LeYoungTeam 😂😂😂😂😮😮😅

When I was a Stephen A fan

Why's this old ass video poppin up in 2024 😂

How about this: Don't engage with Skip, ever! He's a biased, unqualified carnival barker. Just leave his dementia-ridden ass alone.

I think Skip was, way ahead of the time where it was going to be relevant, already bracing for the Jordan debate. I think Skip just has the personality where one day he decided, "this kid will never be Jordan." Then like Stephen A. said, he fixates on certain things, and the narrative has always been subconsciously coming from that space of, "this kid will never be Jordan." Fast forward to the Undisputed years with Shannon and the debate is now more of a reasonable argument. You can see the full manifestation in those years.

Skip turning this into a “I told you so” after being wrong is legendary

Skip was always a bandwagon. He needed Stephen A like he needed Shannon Sharp

Kordell Stewart had 77 touchdowns and 84 interceptions in the NFL. So we’re supposed to pretend that’s elite?

So it’s somehow the fault of white people that running black quarterbacks came into the league and failed? SMH

Black or white, it doesn’t work.

Classic Stephen A., before he began coonin

Every LeBron Hater’s nightmare is when he wins an NBA Championship

Funniest thing about this is Stephen A telling Skip he spoke for 8 minutes and 42 seconds when the guy actually spoke for less than 6 minutes.

This is so weird to listen to. The subject matter feels like ancient history but the rhetoric feels contemporary. It’s crazy how little Skip Bayless has changed in all this time

I think Douglas beating Tyson was the most shocking unbelievable unpredicted moment in the history of sports. 42/1 underdog Douglas knoking out Iron Mike.. it was simply like a cheetah won against a mighty Lion.. impossible

You Go Skip

Classic First Take

Genuinely, Skip is just disrespectful. You dont have to like the man, but show some level of respect. At the least c’mon now

11 years ago is 2012 but wth, the technology difference is like 30 years ago.

Who needs to be clutch when u beat teams by 6 points or more ??

It’s about time but didn’t Bron & MJ win there 1st championship at the same age… wasn’t Scottie Pippen a top 5 SF all time & top 5 player in the league at that time, & arguably top 5 defender ever ?? & a player who’s top 3 in 3point fg % for a season ??

Skip has always been a hater and will continue to be a hater. This video aged well.

Kordell is throwing daggers he is dead on right

Years later skip is the definition of standing on business 😂😂😂

If the thunder won would kd be what lebron is today ?
