There are very few players who manage to play at a high level in any sport.. LeBron James He’s definitely one of them as he’s entering his 20th season in the league and can still dominate the game as he pleases. This is certainly a huge achievement for King and many NBA stars past and present have already applauded him. But as a longtime critic of the NBA superstar, Skip Bayless he apparently made it his personal duty to discredit the “King’s” achievements as best he could. This week, on an episode of his podcast, the FOX Sports analyst tapped into LeBron again, comparing his longevity to that of the NFL legend. Tom Brady.
On The Skip Bayless Show this week, an audience member asked, “LeBron, did Tom Brady beat Daddy Zaman like you thought?” Bayless’ response was, as many expected, very “Bayless-esque”. he said, “The answer to that is a big NO. I’m going to tell you that LeBron James had the best 19th year of any NBA player, but that’s largely because not many have lasted as long as LeBron.”
Tom Brady is about 45 years old and will be playing his 23rd season in the NFL. By comparison, LeBron is 37 years old and entering his 20th season in the NBA.
Skip Bayless takes second place, comparing LeBron James this time to NFL’s Tom Brady.
The GOA thing is very subjective and Skip has always put Michael Jordan ahead of LeBron James in this comparison. He defends MJ in the comparison, even as he gives LBJ an advantage in assisting. While the questioning fan was scrupulous about the comparisons between LeBron James and Tom Brady, Skip showed no mercy. 4-time NBA Champion LeBron.

said, “Is LeBron defeating Father Time just like you think Tom Brady is? The answer to that is a big no. He’s had the best 19th year of any NBA player ever, but that’s largely because it doesn’t last as long or doesn’t want to last as long as LeBron has.”
While Skip credits the hard work LBJ has put into his conditioning, he added: “I admire the fitness commitment. I admire her dedication to nutrition and warrior training. Remember though, LeBron is seven years and five months younger than Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr.”
Comparing the latest performances of both athletes, Skip showcased LeBron’s flaws and explained why he thought Tom Brady wouldn’t beat Daddy’s Time. said, “LeBron’s all-time greatest 19 years were, statistically, deeply flawed… Key tricks emerged that none of them from last season, as Brady is 44 years old. LeBron, who was 15th in the NBA three-pointers last season, is 93rd in three-pointers. It’s missing too many three-pointers, this team is overwhelming.”
Statistically speaking, Skip had some valid points. If viewers can compare some of the previous seasons of LBJ; It’s a fact that LeBron isn’t as fast or strong as he used to be. With only 101 games played in the last two seasons due to injuries, he’s not nearly as durable either.
Still, no one can deny James’ influence on the field. Despite having to make big changes to his game, LeBron still finds ways to be effective on the court. He may not be in Tom Brady’s court yet, but he can get there if he really wants to. And to be fair, comparing athletes from two different sports cannot be considered an Apple-Apple comparison.
While there are a handful of players in the NBA who are over 35 and have made hot runs for nearly 20 seasons, LeBron should be given the credit he deserves. At the same time, you can always count on Skip Bayless to find the best ways to take down LeBron James and his legacy.
