The Dallas Cowboys‘ embarrassing loss in the NFL wild card round has lit a fire under Skip Bayless. While the media personality is often known for highlighting negative commentary over the positives, an NBA legend was not happy after hearing what Bayless had to say about the defeated Cowboys. While firing back at Bayless, Eddie Johnson used Skip Bayless’ previous barrages toward LeBron James to prove his point.

Skip Bayless tweeted, “THIS HAS BECOME THE MOST HUMILIATING PLAYOFF LOSS IN DALLAS COWBOYS HISTORY. WE WERE 7.5-POINT FAVORITES, WITH THE 2 SEED AND THE NO. 1 OFFENSE AND A DEFENSE THAT LED THE LEAGUE IN PRESSURES.” But this led to Eddie Johnson replying, “But you will still waste Americas time spending 90 mins talking Cowboys and Lakers on your variety show! Thats Humiliating,” the Phoenix Suns legend added with laughing emojis.

Bayless’ rant on the Cowboys is justifiable after their atrocious performance. However, Bayless himself has been doubting the Cowboys for months, although he is a fan of the team. So even though he is currently expressing his unhappiness at the Cowboys’ defeat, Eddie Johnson feels like he would use this to spend time on his show Undisputed, just like he would with LeBron James’ defeats in the NBA.

In recent months, Skip Bayless has started to mellow down on his LeBron James takes. However, this didn’t stop him from making an absurd statement in early January. As the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled, talks about Darvin Ham’s coaching have been brought up as a concern. However, Skip Bayless used this opportunity to issue a challenge to LeBron James.

The 72-year-old said, “LeBron obviously is having issues with Darvin Ham. Somebody has to be blamed for this. So seriously, why doesn’t LeBron do what the great Bill Russell did – play AND coach? LBJ would be great at that … but then he’d have only himself to blame.”

I did not follow the traditional route to become a journalist, but my love for basketball and writing has brought me here. Seeing LeBron James? Cleveland Cavaliers make the iconic comeback from a 1-3 deficit in 2016 changed everything for a young engineering aspirant within me. Rather than simply looking at the game, I love to analyze how each player contributes to a team using BPM (Box Plus Minus) and other advanced metrics.
