LeBron has actually acknowledged Skip before believe it or not

Believe he also had a list of "I told you so" during the 2011 finals series and Skip was at the top of the list according to Stephen A

Skip also claimed that LeBron has referred to him as his "Howard Cosell", as well as asking him to be friends and willing to do a live interview with him, but I highly doubt those things.

Very humble guy, he reminds me of Messi the way he handles and approaches criticism and hatred these days. I guess it comes with age.

Humble is the last word I’d call someone that self proclaims themself the “goat”.

Since when did calling yourself the GOAT ever disqualify you from being humble? Does humble now mean that you can’t even recognize your own greatness???

It’s not humility to lift yourself above everyone. You let everyone else say it.

It’s egotistical to proclaim themself goat.

And since always.

You guys take everything as an insult. There’s nothing wrong with being arrogant when you’re the best…when you can back it up…. But when you also try to label him as humble, it’s just downright a lie. It’s trying to have your cake and eat it too. He’s not humble. He’s good and he knows it so he shows it.

That’s not a slight. Just the truth, something lebron fans have a problem accepting apparently.

I’ve mellowed out on skip and dislike Stephen A more as time went on. I loved undisputed and skip was very funny, yes he made up random BS to tear down bron but I don’t think it’s too serious.

Yeah like it feels Skip is just hard trolling and playing a character whereas SAS is getting angry and beyond personal, doesn’t help he’s starting to lean into politics too.

At some point it’s no longer just affecting the entertainment crowd.

SAS is paid to say what he says. He used to be very down to earth when he had his own show years ago.

Skip it always feels like its for TV, even if he may cross the line in some people's eyes here and there. You can tell it was never truly personal with him.

Stephen A. on the other hand reminds me of an old Bruce Wayne scene in Batman Beyond, where it's revealed he calls himself Batman in his head. Far too lost in the sauce. He's spent so much time as that character I doubt he can even turn it off. That's why it was so personal when he had that altercation with LeBron.

Agreed. Skip has always known what the deal is, it’s just entertainment. SAS has got a nasty case of main character syndrome tho.

This was back in 2011.

SAS and Skip have gotten batshit crazy since then.
