Sports analyst Skip Bayless reacted to the news that LeBron James is about to cross the one billion dollar mark in career NBA salary earnings.
The co-host of UNDISPUTED, who is an avid critic of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, asked a rhetorical question why James chose to earn mores instead of getting less and have better teammates which would have helped him win more championships.
“LeBron will soon pass ONE BILLION DOLLARS in career NBA salary earnings. Has always insisted on the max. YET: How many more MJ-chasing championships would he have won if he’d taken less $ to have better supporting cast – as MJ always did. Or Tim Duncan. Or Tom Brady. Why, King?” Bayless tweeted.
LeBron admitted back in 2014 that it was his main goal to earn one billion. “If it happens. It’s my biggest milestone. Obviously. I want to maximize my business. And if I happen to get it, if I happen to be a billion-dollar athlete, ho. Hip hip hooray! Oh, my God, I’m gonna be excited,” he said per Jeanne Marie Laskas of GQ.
