Most NBA fans have a strong opinion on who is the greatest basketball player of all time.
Some think it is Michael Jordan, some LeBron James, and some fans think it is neither.
But, one man that has a strong opinion on the GOAT is Skip Bayless.
He has been adamant that Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time.
So when Bayless tweeted that he thinks James is the GOAT, some people were caught off guard.
I’ve finally decided LeBron James is the GOAT.

This was very off-brand for Bayless, but some fans quickly realized what day it was.

Later on, Bayless tweeted this simply as an April Fool’s joke to all of his followers.
He quickly responded to his first tweet with one wishing James a happy April Fool’s day.
HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY TO LEBRON JAMES.

Some fans thought it was a fun joke by Bayless, while others were not surprised by his foolishness.
Simple yet effective Skip!

While the GOAT debate will never have an answer, it is one of the most discussed debates.
You can make a case for a few different players to be the greatest, depending on their stats or championships won.
Bayless has always been one of the well-known James haters, and he will always be that way.
He has become popular due to some of his crazy takes.
Bayless will never speak glowingly of James, but that is part of the reason why people watch him.
