These days, Skip Bayless is a two-note character: He loves Tom Brady, and hates LeBron James.
So, it should be no surprise how the FS1 talking head reacted to the Los Angeles Lakers’ 128-115 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
The defeat dropped the Lakers to 29-30, good for 10th place in the Western Conference. James now is in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 campaign, his second NBA season.
Shortly after the game concluded, Bayless dropped this tweet:
As a leader: Brady>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LeBron

Who… cares?
Not everything has to be about Brady, Skip. Furthermore, comparing the leadership of James — who’s made it to eight straight NBA Finals — to that of Brady, a six-time Super Bowl winner, is stupid. Two different sports, two different athletes.
Both are all-time greats
