Skip Bayless picks LeBron James over Stephen Curry in upcoming Lakers-Warriors series

Fox Sports 1 personality Skip Bayless has had a reputation for years for being a harsh critic of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, even though, at times, he has actually praised James.

In fact, over the last couple of months, ever since the Lakers have been reborn after several pre-trade deadline deals, Bayless has been praising the NBA’s all-time leading career scorer and his team more often than ever.

James’ Lakers are set to take on Stephen Curry and the defending world champion Golden State Warriors in a Western Conference semifinal series that could turn into an instant classic. In a tweet right after the matchup was set, Bayless said he’s taking James over Curry.

The way Bayless worded his tweet was somewhat vague, but it looks like he’s picking the Lakers to prevail in the series.
