I'm posing a general question to the sports blogosphere and social networking communities:
Can someone please clue me in to why Skip Bayless seems to have an abiding hatred of LeBron James?
From what I have been able to gather, he has relentlessly mocked James's game, called him "Prince" (to belittle LeBron's 'King' moniker) and seems to have no regard for how talented James is.
The latest tweet from his account (at 8:14 PDT on 2/18/10), he wrote: "LeBron and Melo put on a terrific show. But one is still Prince, and the other deserves a puppet.
Yes, LeBron has not won a title and probably has been hyped up more than anyone else coming into the association.
But on some level, most guys who have come into the league have been over hyped somewhat.
But there is no question, in my mind, that James is one of the best things to have happened to the sad-sack Cavaliers franchise. If he leaves at the end of the season to sign a deal elsewhere, it very well could kill the heart of Northeast Ohio.
However, I still want to know what LeBron ever did to Skip to earn his eternal hire?
Or is Skip really a hack who takes extreme positions because they make for good theater on ESPN late morning?
