LeBron James wins NBA Title, First Take

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

Love the respect level for Spo by Stephen A in this. Years later , no Bron or Wade , and the Heat are only 2 years removed from a Finals appearance and were one game away from another

[@mm28778]

This is where Stephen A showed how talented he is… an amazing retort to Skip hating with backhanded compliments

[@neonskies4205]

Best tandem ever. Miss those days skip and sas are made for each other man

[@charmcompassion9199]

Skip is a poison to LeBron James career!!!!

[@jstdun]

Michael Bonhomme how?

[@lokro2207xd]

Michael Bonhomme Lebron and his true supporters dont take Bayless seriously. I think i‘ve hardly ever agreed with anythink Skip he is just highly entertaining somehow.

[@jonasprince88]

😁😁😂

[@Mckylan]

A A it definitely does there are so many false narratives that people say to degrade lebrons greatness. People still say he isn’t clutch and he always nitpicks everything even if Lebron has a flawless game u can’t say anything about.

[@bfia7532]

Steven A. Smith gave skip da business

[@Rclifts23]

8 years later and logoat wining his first title is recommended remind me guys I’ll be back next year

[@lostgio9368]

Defition of backhand compliment right here 😂😂

[@johnpestano22]

how contradictory this was 2012 now it's 2019 and Skip is Bron's biggest critic.

[@lemancemossjr3935]

I think skip lost a humongous bet betting against LBJ and almost lost it all! Because he hates that man beyond recognition. 🤦🏾‍♂️💯💯💯

[@skipbayless7299]

Throwback to when the King earned his ring. I was truly relieved for the man. LeBron finally shut everyone up. It was bout damn time.

"Lebron shot 73% from free throw which is just okay, its not 90% like Magic, Bird, and Michael, but that is terrific for Lebron james." - Skip sarcastically complements Lebron. LmFaO!

[@deletethischannelpls]

none of them shot 90% 😂 maybe close but Jordan shot 83%

[@Mckylan]

DylanAffiliate Larry bird shot 90%. He was the first to shoot 50 40 90

[@clutchflutie8750]

Steve A is that dude who could have made billions conning old folks out of money as a TV televangelist since he is such a smooth eloquent talker.

[@tyronebrown2246]

Even if you're a non tv personality Lebron hater, you have to admit skip was dead wrong for this one

[@fdplanet5227]

Exactly bros is a dedicated lebron hater lebron could win 20 straight finals and skip will still somehow find a way to say lebron choked in 2011

[@henryokonkwo8760]

I have never seen someone hate LeBron like Skip bayliss mehn
