Number one LeBron James hater Skip Bayless defends LeBron James

You know the officiating is bad when Skip Bayless defends LeBron James on not getting obvious foul calls. Bayless tweeted about the LeBron no-calls in the Los Angeles Lakers-Denver Nuggets NBA Opening Night game on X:

#NBATwitter pulled up some receipts with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope clearly fouling LeBron on the elbow, in what should’ve been an and-1.

Year 21 LeBron has been driving to the basketball all night, and getting hacked in the process. When you’re bigger and stronger than everyone else, you won’t get those cals.

I’m still expecting Skip Bayless to somehow turn this into a LeBron hate. He’ll probably say the referees respected Michael Jordan, but they don’t respect LeBron James.
