Skip Bayless Has Accused Tom Brady Of Being A 'Sellout'

Skip Bayless has stuck by Tom Brady's side for almost 20 years now. But backing LeBron James? Well that might've been a bridge too far— even for the GOAT.

In a video posted to Bayless' YouTube channel, the former "Undisputed" debater labeled Brady as a "sellout" since walking away from the NFL and also accused the seven-time Super Bowl champ of "kissing LeBron's ass" for all to see at Fanatics Fest in NYC last weekend.
"Tell me I'm wrong about this," Bayless began. "LeBron James just can't help himself. He just can't hide his runaway insecurity over knowing deep, deep down that he will never ever be seen as the greatest basketball player ever by those who really know the game, by anyone who really matters."
"And yeah, I know that over the weekend Tom Brady called LeBron James the greatest ever while sitting up on stage with LeBron at the Fanatics Fest in New York City," he added. "What a sellout Tom Brady has become post-football off the field, and he was undoubtedly the greatest football player ever on the field."

The rant continued from Bayless.
"When it comes to maximizing his money, Tom Brady will say and do whatever is required to polish his good guy image," Skip argued. "He loves everybody and everybody loves Tom Brady. And he even kissed LeBron's ass in front of LeBron because he knows how many billions of followers, how many fans LeBron has and what a powerful financial alliance he could form with the King post-football, probably post-basketball for LeBron."

Skip has long been one of LeBron's harshest critics. So to see arguably his favorite athlete call James "the greatest ever" in front of a live audience— he took it personal (insert Jordan meme).

Bayless has gone over chapter and verse why he believes Michael Jordan will always be better basketball player than LeBron. And believe it or not, this latest argument is (slightly) more well-adjusted than we've seen in years past from the ex-ESPN personality.
