@GilsArenaShow What a clown McCants is. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I wouldn't be too critical considering McCants played four years in the league (19 less than James) and averaged a career ppg of 10.0. Meanwhile, James has averaged 20 or more points for 23 straight years.

Rashad McCants criticizes LeBron's success as a Laker 👀 "For the last 8 years we've seen him as a #1 option not get it done."

@GilsArenaShow What's so hard to understand? OKC is a juggernaut, and you want a 41-year-old without his best teammate to carry the team? Oldest Thunder player (Caruso) is 32. McCants must have forgotten the Lakers' five glorious seasons before James got there? (126-284 cumulative record.)

@RealSkipBayless Lakers fans want to reflect on their five glorious years before James arrived. 126-284. Look it up if you don't believe me. I have no problem if he moves on for one more year, but I haven't forgotten how terrible the Lakers were. Pretty dramatic improvement if you ask me.

I assume LeBron will offer to take a huge discount to stay in LA and play next season for the Lakers. And I would guess Luka will quietly say NOT AGAIN.

@215_ReemSP @RealSkipBayless Yeah, we sure missed those five glorious years before James got there when the Lakers were 126-284. Talk about rewriting history. He's old and less impactful now, but the Lakers were a complete joke before he showed up.

@RealSkipBayless I hope he finally leaves us and goes back to Cleveland or retire . We tired of him in LA 😒 #TheConvoStarters

@AEONNE888 @RealSkipBayless Ruined the Lakers?🤣 They were 126-284 in the five years prior to James going to LA. Look it up if you don't believe me.

@RealSkipBayless F him. He ruined the lakers

@RealSkipBayless Now, we get to hear how great Shedeur is for average play and how Tebow was a game-changer. Skip is the only one in history who thinks a QB who completed 48% of his career passes is better than a guy who averaged more than 20 points a game for 23 years in a row.

@RealSkipBayless You've got one more year left of your 24-year vendetta against the second-best player in NBA history. Then, you can start paying attention to Ernestine. Oh, wait, it'll be football season. Yeah, never mind. Whose Cowboys jersey are you tossing in the trash this year?

I'm assuming 1) LeBron will play at least one more season, and that 2) it will be elsewhere.

@RealSkipBayless The same old schtick for 23 years. I've got Jordan #1 too, but James is either 2 or 3. People act like 4-6 in the finals is terrible when his teams were only favored in 3 of those series. Blame James for the Dallas series in 2011 (15 years ago lol) but that's it.

Tell me where I'm wrong about LeBron because I just don't get it. I'm amused by the backlash. And the truth is, the God's truth is I think when I put LeBron at No. 9 that people react so strongly because deep deep down at the very bottom of their psyche, they know I'm right.

@hussan95452943 @RealSkipBayless Skip would want James suspended for 20 games and label him a cheap shot artist. Skip "Mr. Objectivity" Bayless.

@RealSkipBayless If LeBron did this to shai, you would not be saying that at all lmao 😂

COME ON, DON'T THROW WEMBANYAMA OUT OF A GAME 4. THEY WERE ALL OVER HIM, FOULING THE HELL OUT OF HIM. SO HE GOT FRUSTRATED AND FOUGHT BACK. JUST RIDICULOUS. JUST GIVE MINNESOTA THIS ONE. 2-2 GOING BACK TO SAN ANTONIO.

@PlanetGlitch87 @RealSkipBayless Did nothing wrong? Haha. Wemby probably got fouled, but let's not act like that was the correct response.

@RealSkipBayless Wemby did nothing wrong! You don’t suspended a mvp candidate from a prime time game!

@engrdarvin20 @RealSkipBayless Not arguing that he got fouled, but he may have cost his team this game.

@RealSkipBayless mcdaniels LITERALLY HAD BOTH HANDS HOLDING WEMBY, wemby said 'no foul? ok i'll show you a foul' lol

@MikeGre50401692 @RealSkipBayless Yes, Skip has two sets of rules for the teams and players he likes and dislikes. Not a shred of objectivity.

@RealSkipBayless If Lebron did that you would want him to get 10 games

@dustin_sto73010 @RealSkipBayless It's just as bad for the players he doesn't like. It's okay to root for your team(s), but Skip has the inability to be objective. For example, I'm a Lakers fan. No way I'm blaming the refs when OKC is far better.

@RealSkipBayless Skip you have a bad habit of defending players you like. You are very biased

@kingjesus17 @RealSkipBayless Yeah, he's terrible. 23 ppg on 52% shooting. SGA, deservedly about be the two-time MVP of the league, is averaging 21 ppg on 46% shooting. That shows how deep OKC is and how much better their bench is.

@RealSkipBayless He’s washed up . Needs Luka to carry him . He’s getting exposed. Can’t do anything without another teams #1 option . Without AD he missed playoffs with lakers. Look how terrible he looks without Luka . If LeBron was the real number 1 option this how his teams would look

As I said yesterday on First Take, LeBron now misses so many shots at the rim that he has lost some respect from the refs, who no longer give him "King" calls. He started out this game 0-8 in the paint.

@King_bj305 @RealSkipBayless Shocker.

@RealSkipBayless He is 41 years old can’t jump high as he once could

@jackfisch3r @RealSkipBayless What do you want them to do? Ask Maxi Kleiber to take over the game? 🤣

@RealSkipBayless Hes 41 years old😭. Trying to act like hes 28 in his prime

@Generationexp @RealSkipBayless James did not have a good game tonight. Still shooting over 50% for the series. Meanwhile SGA has been human, Williams is out, and the Thunder bench is dominating.

@RealSkipBayless "Spot on. LeBron used to get those King calls on every rim attack. Now he’s missing so many bunnies that the refs don’t even bother. 0-8 in the paint is wild. Father Time is undefeated."

@Generationexp @RealSkipBayless If the refs "bail him out", how come he's never led the league in FT attempts in 23 years? Meanwhile, James Harden has led the league 7 times. Really? Yeah, look it up.

@RealSkipBayless This is exactly what I’ve been saying. The respect factor is gone. Refs don’t automatically bail him out anymore because he’s missing easy ones at the rim. Brutal start with that 0-8."

@RealSkipBayless OKC is just so much better. Refs not a factor. Bench points 126-68 in the series. Still, James has had 9 FT attempts in three games and has NEVER led the league in FT attempts in 23 years, but don't let facts get in the way, Skip.

@RodneyHarv37846 @RealSkipBayless The OKC bench compared to the Lakers bench (Kennard excluded) is 3x better.

@RealSkipBayless OKC bench ALONE can start for any team in the NBA thats why they are so tough to beat....there is no drop-off once the starters check out...this team is ridiculous man it all started with SGA being traded for PG and that created a dynasty in OKC...the Clippers created this shit

The "GOAT" always needs a scapegoat. Now it will be Ayton ... the center the Suns and Blazers gave up on because his effort came and went and whose hands have always been shaky.
