Skip Bayless On Why LeBron James Is 8th On His All-Time Players List: "Playing Longer Does Not Make You Better...”​


There's dumb and then there's Skip Bayless level dumb.
I agree Skip is an idiot, it’s for show but he has gotten rich being an idiot. I will say though that in the goat conversation for me it’s how good were you at your best. Sure a certain amount of longevity is required to be in the conversation, but one guy playing longer than another isn’t going to sway most people in terms of who they think the better player was.

I know a guy that grew up with him in the OKC, they are close friends. It’s an act, he’s supposedly a great family dude.

Of course it's an act, same with Steven A and the rest of them. It's showbiz.

Solid comment until the 'most people' part. You assume 'most people' think of it like you do. Some folks would say the guy that literally scored the most points ever and played great for 2 decades and won FMVPs on 3 different teams and took lesser casts to the finals would be considered GOAT. No way to 'prove' this stuff, you have your criteria and you ain't changing and that's fine.

He doesn’t come off as a bad guy at all. Just stuck in his ways when it comes to things he love/hate in sports

I said most people aren’t going to be swayed simply because one guy played longer. The rest of that stuff you added can be found selectively for whoever you want in the conversation.

Pop is still a hell of a coach....messing up the Ws with a zone defense, got his young team moving the ball a lot on offense, etc

Steph might be the real MVP of the league lol

Gonna go 0-4 in games he doesn't play after tonight. It's not just the points it's the gravity. No one else can get going without him
