Skip Bayless usually disses LeBron James on “Undisputed.” (Laura Cavanaugh/FilmMagic/D Dipasupil/FilmMagic)
Skip Bayless is well known for his anti-LeBron James hot takes. Some would argue he has built his sports commentator career off his Lebron dings but today, it isn’t going over well. The “Undisputed” host tweeted Tuesday, Oct. 17 in light of a nasty leg injury suffered by Boston Celtics Forward Gordon Hayward while playing the Cleveland Cavaliers.
If Gordon Hayward is gone, maybe for the season, LeBron's path to losing a sixth finals gets even easier.

The Cavs went on to win 102-99 and Bayless couldn’t resist taking a dig at James. The star athlete checked on Hayward after his ankle fracture, but Bayless made no mention of that in his tweets following the season opener.

Many took aim at the columnist building a successful career out of bashing James. They even compared his penchant to Donald Trump’s apparent obsession with Barack Obama.

And some felt Bayless’ tweet made him look just plain foolish.
