NBA – LeBron shot after his altercation with Ime Udoka: “Michael Jordan would have…

More than anything else, it was the disagreement between Ime Udoka and LeBron James that attracted attention during the recent match between the Lakers and the Rockets. And the King quickly had to face criticism from his detractors, after the Texans coach was ejected from the meeting…

Yes, the Lakers had a solid victory against the Rockets (107-97). Except that few of them kept the score, unlike the short dispute between LeBron James and Ime Udoka on the field. It even got to the point where the Houston coach was sent to the locker room by the referees while the Californian superstar received a technical foul.

The decision may raise eyebrows, but Udoka’s words were later revealed and they were indeed anything but glorious. But for LeBron’s detractors, this is above all an admission of weakness on the part of the King, who would have let himself be walked all over by Gregg Popovich’s former right-hand man. Skip Bayless particularly emphasized this point during the Undisputed show:

He (Udoka) doesn’t have much respect for LeBron’s physical and mental toughness. This is another reason why I can’t even begin to acknowledge that LeBron is in the same conversation as Michael Jordan, because believe me, back then, no coach would have dared to speak like that in front of Michael Jordan .

He would have unleashed hell on you and he could have scored 100 points on your head. And if he didn’t, he would have scored 200 points in the next game.

Skip Bayless bluntly after the LeBron/Udoka controversy

Count on the famous Fox Sports polemicist to once again bring the debate between LBJ and Michael Jordan back to the table, he who has been striving to discredit the Chosen One for years. A speech which, however, is becoming less and less popular among Internet users, who are tired of seeing Bayless talking about the same thing over and over again. Needless to say, the reactions were scathing.

the Bad Boy Pistons and the New York Knicks were constantly putting hands on MJ, and trash talking him. stop with this nonsense cause the footage is not hard to find.

The Bad Boys version of the Pistons and the New York Knicks kept physically attacking MJ and trash-talking him. Stop with this nonsense because the images are not hard to find.

I will be a Jordan guy forever but Skip is absurd. I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face listening to his nonsense.

I will forever be a Jordan fan, but Skip is absurd. I wouldn’t be able to keep my cool listening to everything he said.

For Skip Bayless, we have just witnessed once again proof that LeBron James is not the GOAT because he would be less respected by his peers than Michael Jordan in his time. What is certain, however, is that the future Hall of Famer will have absolutely nothing to do with it, he who has ignored the journalist for years now.
