A war of words on the court happens more often than we can count. Leave it to Skip Bayless to make an event out of it. He announced just that after the Houston Rockets coach got ejected following an argument with LeBron James. Bayless wants to dig into that fleeting moment in a big way by bringing His Airness, Michael Jordan, in.

The stars of this episode themselves made it a minor incident. Fans moved on quickly too. But they aren’t sure what is Skip Bayless’ stance.

Skip Bayless wants to dispute LeBron James incident

As common as arguments can be on the NBA court, an argument between a coach and an opposing player is rare. Get the coach ejected and it’s a unicorn. But that’s what happened to Ime Udoka. It’s understandable though, because the person opposite him was an old rival.

The Rockets coach got into it with LeBron James during the game and was tossed out. So he was not on the court to see firsthand the Lakers win 107-97 over Udoka’s team. Skip Bayless is ready to dissect the fleeting altercation. And he dragged Michael Jordan into leaving fans scratching their heads at the unexplained connection.

“OM TOMORROW’S UNDISPUTED: I will have a whole lot to say about the way Ime Udoka called out LeBron for crying and being soft and a fake tough guy. Can you imagine any coach ever daring to speak to Michael Jordan that way? NEVER EVER. And LeBron is the GOAT??? LOL,” he tweeted.

It was a debatable moment when James and Udoka had a verbal exchange for a few seconds. The referee issued both of them technicals over it. Since it was Udoka’s second one in the game, he was shown the door. The incident brings back-references to these two titans’ clashes when Udoka was an NBA player.

Both played it off after the game. Udoka claimed that the referees misunderstood their conversation and James joked it was something akin to Thanksgiving family banter. The sportscaster’s social media followers are wary of what he has to say on the next episode of Undisputed.

Skip Bayless found his plot

To the uninformed, it might look like he’s ripping into Udoka for getting booted out of the game. But Bayless is a known LeBron critic. He was questioning if James was really the GOAT if an opponent coach could call him names in a game.

He’s saying that very few would dare to take shots at Michael Jordan. Though there have been instances and Jordan has taken them “personally.”

Bayless can certainly make an entire week of Undisputed with commentary on LeBron James alone. His viewers are braced for another tirade about this minor incident. What do you think Bayless will say on the show? Let us know in the comments below.
