"Can you imagine any coach daring to speak to Michael Jordan that way?" - Skip Bayless trolls LeBron James as Ime Udoka calls Lakers star 'soft'

Some believe that LeBron James has surpassed the legendary Michael Jordan as the greatest of all time in NBA history. However, there are those who firmly believe that James isn't deserving of the title. One of those in the latter category is none other than Skip Bayless.

Bayless, who is notorious for bashing LeBron James, recently called him out again on social media.

Bayless tweeted about what his viewers can expect in the next episode of "Undisputed." He mentioned that Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka called LeBron James "soft."

Skip also took shots at LeBron being in the GOAT debate by saying that coaches feared talking smack about Michael Jordan. For him, if James were the GOAT, people wouldn't be insulting him.

"I will have a whole lot to say about the way Ime Udoka called out LeBron for crying and being soft and a fake tough guy," Bayless tweeted. "Can you imagine any coach ever daring to speak to Michael Jordan that way? NEVER EVER. And LeBron is the GOAT???"
