Because of his remarkable skills and stellar achievements, James has often been praised by several analysts and players. However, the Lakers star also has a constant critic who has been criticizing him for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Skip Bayless, the American sports columnist and commentator, departed from Undisputed and Fox Sports 1 on August 2, 2024, after eight years on the network. However, he recently made some controversial statements on the latest episode of The Skip Bayless Show. Bayless mentioned that he will not hold back his words, which may have been directed towards James.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI have waited a long time for this moment. I am finally free. Free to unleash in ways I never have. Free to give you every bit of me without boundaries or handcuffs or fear of suspension. I recently left FS1, an exit I had planned for several months because I wanted to do this. I wanted to be my own boss. To bet on me,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Bayless said.<\/p>\n<p>Following his statement, basketball fans started making hilarious jokes about the long-standing James and Bayless controversy. Many fans believe that Bayless\u2019 words are mainly directed towards James.<\/p>\n<p>One fan said,\u00a0<em>\u201cBro about to call Bron the N word.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote

James<\/h2>\n<p>Bayless has been a longtime critic of LeBron James. Recently, while passing a window display in a mall, the\u00a0<a class=\"mai-link-injected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/nba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBA<\/a>\u00a0analyst took a picture of a\u00a0<a class=\"mai-link-injected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/tag\/michael-jordan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Jordan<\/a>\u00a0jersey on display in a store and posted it on social media. In his post, Bayless mentioned that James had \u201cjust stolen\u201d the 2024 Paris Olympics MVP award from Stephen Curry and wrote that James still has to chase Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent episode of his podcast, Bayless mentioned that during his 35-year career, he was constantly being told to be careful with his words. He stated that he is now free and will talk about anything he wants.<\/p>\n<p><em>To break free from the TV networks I\u2019ve worked for for 35 years. For 35 years, I\u2019ve been told, \u2018Don\u2019t! Don\u2019t! Don\u2019t! Careful! and Careful! Careful!\u2019 I\u2019ve tiptoed, sidestepped, pulled punches\u2026No more bosses with huge egos and hidden agendas. No more games that have to be played behind closed network doors.
