Carmelo Anthony accused of betraying LeBron James

Did Carmelo Anthony betray LeBron James? At first glance, the words are strong. But for Skip Bayless, nothing is too good to reach the King. We explain to you.

In the absence of matches for more than two and a half months, the NBA planet has notably gravitated around a major subject: which is the GOAT between LeBron James and Michael Jordan ? Almost everyone has given their opinion on the issue, with a fairly clear consensus around MJ.

Among the voices that have positioned themselves on the subject, a certain Carmelo Anthony has left no doubt: for him, it is indeed His Airness who is the greatest player in history.

The polemist Skip Bayless sees this as a betrayal of Melo, and the ultimate proof of Jordan’s greatness, as he explained at the microphone of Undisputed and on Twitter:

This is the kind of betrayal that Michael Jordan wouldn’t abide by. LeBron’s not built like that. I think this will hurt LeBron more than it will offend him. More @Undisputed, now on FS1 https://t.co/OcfCWaPJk6

LeBron’s best friend, perhaps from around the world, declares cash that Michael Jordan is the GOAT. And the way he said it leaves no doubt. Thanks for saying that Melo, you closed the door in front of your best friend.

This is the kind of betrayal that Michael Jordan would not tolerate. LeBron is not built like that. I think it will hurt him more than it will offend him.

As you can see, Skip Bayless quickly rushed into the ajar breach (admittedly perhaps a little clumsily by Melo) to drive LeBron.

The polemicist forgets here that Anthony nevertheless militated in the same declaration so that LeBron is recognized at its true value, even qualifying it as “very big”. But it is true that as a great friend of the King, proclaiming MJ as GOAT without a shadow of a doubt may somehow disappoint the main stakeholder.

True to himself, Skip Bayless did not miss the opportunity to try to harm LeBron James. From there to being successful is another matter.
