Kevin Hart confronts Bayless over LeBron hatred
Fox Sports talking head Skip Bayless has built a reputation over the course of his television career as a person who will criticize LeBron James for anything and everything.
When LeBron James won a championship in Cleveland, Bayless dismissed that accomplishment. When LeBron dunked at his son's basketball game, Bayless ripped him for it. The act has relentlessly continued for years.
So leave it to Kevin Hart to call out the Fox Sports personality on it all.
In the latest episode of Laugh Out Loud Network's Cold as Balls, Hart waited little time to confront Bayless about LeBron.
It led to the following exchange:
Hart: Got him uncomfortable. Now it's time to ask the hard-hitting question. WHY DO YOU HATE LEBRON?
Bayless: I like LeBron.
Hart: You hate LeBron!
Bayless: I do not. I think he's actually a very nice guy. In fact, I think he's too nice of a guy. I wish he had a little bit more basketball killer in him. I don't think he has enough.
The exchange continued …
Bayless: It just turns my stomach when all these blind witnesses try to delude themselves and the basketball public into believing that LeBron James is better than Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Who would win a one-on-one game between those two?
Hart: Michael Jordan's 85!
Bayless: In their prime. Who wins?
Hart: In their prime, nobody beats Michael Jordan because he's Michael Jordan.
Hart would then joke that Bayless took his own athletic failures out on LeBron (and other athletes).
