'Kissed LeBron's a**': Tom Brady called a fraud by Skip Bayless for praising 'insecure' LeBron James
Skip Bayless is back in the headlines, and this time he's going after an unlikely target—his longtime hero Tom Brady. Known for his unwavering support of the NFL legend, Bayless shocked fans by labeling Brady a 'sellout' after the quarterback publicly praised
LeBron James
as the 'greatest ever' during a recent appearance on The Shop.
Skip Bayless says Tom Brady betrayed true greatness by crowning LeBron James the GOAT
Tom Brady, appearing alongside LeBron James at Fanatics Fest in New York City, spoke glowingly of the Los Angeles Lakers star, stating: 'He's always done things the right way. He's always risen above the noise and the BS and continued to deliver. So you're witnessing the greatest ever, and I hope you guys appreciate that.'
But that praise didn't sit well with Bayless, who took to his own YouTube show to unleash a scathing response—not just toward LeBron, but surprisingly, toward Brady as well.
Bayless accused Brady of pandering to LeBron's massive global fanbase for financial and branding purposes, especially now that both athletes are navigating their post-career paths. 'Tom Brady will say and do whatever is required to polish his good guy image,' Bayless fumed. 'He even kissed LeBron's a** in front of LeBron because he knows how many billions of followers, how many fans LeBron has.'
Known for championing
Michael Jordan
in the GOAT debate, Bayless didn't hold back his disdain for LeBron's legacy talk either.
'LeBron James just can't help himself,' he said. 'He just can't hide his runaway insecurity… knowing deep, deep down that he will never ever be seen as the greatest basketball player ever, by those who really know the game.'

Since Undisputed was canceled following Shannon Sharpe's departure in 2023, Bayless has seemingly become even more unfiltered. With no major network to answer to, he's taken his hot takes to YouTube—turning his critical eye not only on LeBron, but now Brady too.
Bayless's harsh comments signal a major shift in sports media narratives, with fans and analysts alike surprised to see the veteran commentator turn on Brady after years of loyal praise.
