You\u2019re so much better than this,\u201d Bayless said. \u201cA player of your magnitude, your all-time great caliber, acting like this about social media? Are you kidding me, LeBron? This is beneath your dignity.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uJd9kYKuAhw\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"660\" data-origheight=\"370\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Skip Bayless says LeBron James is following in \u201cthin-skinned\u201d Kevin Durant\u2019s footsteps<\/h2>\n<p data-idx=\"10\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_10\">During Skip Bayless\u2019 lengthy rant about\u00a0LeBron James, he likened him to Kevin Durant, who often responds to his haters.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"11\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_11\">Per Bayless, if James continues being overly sensitive, he will challenge Durant for the title of the NBA\u2019s \u201cthinnest-skinned superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cHere\u2019s the great irony about Rich Kleiman. He represents, manages (and) advises Kevin bleeping Durant, who is the thinnest-skinned superstar I have ever closely observed,\u201d Bayless said. \u201c\u2026 And now LeBron is creeping into the category because the great irony is he\u2019s using Rich Kleiman as his jumping-off point.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-idx=\"12\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_12\">Bayless has garnered a reputation for capitalizing on every opportunity to discredit James throughout his 22-year career. However, unlike Durant, the four-time NBA champion has consistently ignored Bayless. So, he appears unlikely to switch up anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LA Lakers superstar forward LeBron James announced on Wednesday his decision to take a social media hiatus after citing sports media\u2019s emphasis on \u201cnegativity.\u201d However, that didn\u2019t&#8230;
