Skip Bayless Shockingly Defends LeBron And Gives Him MVP Praise

January 06, 2022

Skip Bayless gave LeBron James a rare compliment.

In a shocking turn of events, Skip Bayless has come to the defense of LeBron James, arguing in favor of Lebron as the NBA's potential MVP frontrunner, and hell has also frozen over. During this morning's airing of FS1's Undisputed, Skip Bayless can be heard giving LeBron copious amounts of admiration as he acknowledges the hardships that the 37-year-old player has overcome this season and how this lit a fire in the veteran. 

Per Bayless:

"I gotta tell you from my heart, I think he's got a good shot at winning MVP. Because of narrative. I think the Russell WestBRICK narrative will work to his advantage even though it was LeBron's fault that he's here. In the larger picture, people are gonna say 'look what he's overcoming. He's overcoming the guy who's running away with the turnover lead in the NBA. The guy who clearly has become a liability to the Lakers. And LeBron is playing at the highest level we've ever seen a year 19 player play."
