After Ex-Warrior’s Cryptic Call-Out, Skip Bayless Fires Back With “1v1” Challenge to Crush His ‘Little Rollout Plan’

“Jordan at his best is the greatest that I have ever seen. But Jordan wasn’t that good for that long.” Even Stephen A. Smith had to change his views on LeBron James after his latest historic achievement. This came after he made history by reaching 50,000 career points. With this achievement, you cannot just dismiss LeBron’s claims for the top easily anymore. However, one person still remained unimpressed, and it was none other than American sports columnist and commentator Skip Bayless.

For nearly two decades, Bayless has criticized LeBron, refusing to acknowledge him as the greatest. This led Gilbert Arenas to call him out, questioning his unwavering stance. Bayless’ response? He released a 15-minute video defending himself. He stated, “I’m not making this up, Gilbert. I do my homework. I actually watch the games. I actually love watching the games.” But Arenas wasn’t done. He fired back with a video of his own bringing up the heat. He wasn’t about to let Bayless make claims about having more understanding of the game than him! What’s more? It seems Arenas has a “Little Rollout Plan” cooking up to shut Bayless once and for all.

Gilbert Arenas has responded to me. It sounds like we might do a 1 on 1 home and home, my show/his show, debating/discussing LeBron. Can’t wait.

Now, Bayless has taken things a step further. He went on social media to challenge Arenas to a one-on-one debate. “Gilbert Arenas has responded to me. It sounds like we might do a 1-on-1 home and home, my show/his show, debating/discussing LeBron. Can’t wait.” This showdown is shaping up to be legendary.

Will Bayless finally budge on his stance, or will Arenas expose his bias? Whatever may be the case, one thing is certain — basketball fans will be tuning in.
