Veteran analyst Skip Bayless is one of the biggest critics of NBA superstar LeBron James. Bayless is a huge Michael Jordan fan and makes it his personal agenda to criticize James whenever he can. Because of his criticism of James, many fans think that he is a LeBron hater, or he is obsessed with the superstar.

But his actions now have given them more reasons to believe that he is just another hater who is making millions from slandering James. Because now he has gone after James’ son, Bronny James.

Bronny James is on tour with the California Basketball Club around Europe. After the completion of the first game in London, the team played in Paris. Bronny threw down a ferocious one-hand dunk over a bigger defender. Also, he was running down in full steam.

Like a proud father, James shared the video on his social media platforms. Many celebrities were impressed and showed their love for the dunk. However, it did not completely impress the veteran analyst. He wrote, “Hey, Bronny … impressive. But your dad would’ve dunked it left-handed. You sure got away with it, though.”

Bayless certainly crossed the line here by taking a swipe at a professional’s family. All this to get a reaction out of James who has no time for critics. But the fans didn’t take it lightly, and he has been receiving a lot of backlash for his comments.

Fans shared their disgust at the 70-year-old taking a swipe at a 17-year-old. Ironically, James also threw down a similar dunk. And Bayless’ employer ESPN compared the similarities between the two dunks with the caption “𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐧”.

However, if anything, this is the start of things to come. If Bronny wants to be a superstar in the league like his father, these are the things he would have to endure on a daily basis. And the Lakers superstar has been enduring all the criticism ever since he became a teenage sensation.

Critics back then didn’t back down because he was a teenager. And that might be the case with his son as well. However, unlike LeBron, Bronny has been under the microscope his whole life because of his father’s superstardom. So this might not be a huge shock for the young star.
