Sports analyst Skip Bayless reacted to a recent statement by Paul Pierce that LeBron James would be disqualified from the GOAT debate if the Los Angeles Lakers get eliminated by the Portland Trail Blazers.

“Paul Pierce doesn’t like LeBron because he never respected him,” Bayless said on UNDISPUTED. “They were arch rivals and guarded each other in the Conference Semis in 2008 and 2010. What happened in ’08? LeBron came up small. Paul Pierce knew it and he didn’t respect it.”
