Skip Bayless slams 'sellout' Tom Brady for 'kissing LeBron James' a**' in latest bizarre rant

Skip Bayless' latest bizarre rant has dropped, with two of his favorite targets in his crosshairs again, with him accusing Tom Brady of 'kissing LeBron James a**'. 

Bayless took exception with LeBron James' live episode of 'The Shop' that took place during Fanatics Fest in New York City last weekend. 

Brady was one of James' guests, with the compliments between two of America's greatest sportsmen too much for the 73-year-old to bare. 

'Tell me I’m wrong about this, LeBron James just can’t help himself. He, just can’t hide his runaway insecurity,' Bayless began. 'Over knowing deep, deep down that he will never ever be seen as the greatest basketball player ever, by those who really know the game, by anyone who really matters.'

'And yeah, I know that over the weekend Tom Brady called LeBron James the greatest ever while sitting up on stage with LeBron at the Fanatics Fest in New York City. What a sellout Tom Brady has become post-football off the field, and he was undoubtedly the greatest football player ever on the field.'

'All-time great clutch competitor, Tom Brady, but man, when it comes to maximizing his money, Tom Brady will say and do whatever is required to polish his good guy image. He loves everybody and everybody loves Tom Brady. And he even kissed LeBron’s a** in front of LeBron because he knows how many billions of followers, how many fans LeBron has, and what a powerful financial alliance he could form with the King post football, probably post basketball for LeBron.'

'So, Tom Brady rather pathetically said of LeBron in front of LeBron to the Fanatics Fest crowd, the live audience, and here’s the quote, "He’s always done things the right way. He’s always risen above the noise and the BS and continued to deliver. So you’re witnessing the greatest ever, and I hope you guys appreciate that."' 

Bayless has been a vocal critic of James throughout his NBA career and been in a tiff with Brady over the last several weeks. 

Earlier this week, Bayless left fans baffled with a rant about the NBA Draft and white basketball players - referencing himself as a 'reverse racist'. 

'Cooper Flagg will be the best white American player since Larry Bird,' Bayless said. 'I'm not saying that I'm seeing Larry Bird [in Flagg], not yet, because I've never seen anything like Larry Bird when it came to clutch gene, basketball genius IQ, killer will, defiant arrogant trash-talking confidence, all-time great leadership right up there with Michael Jordan's, Magic Johnson's. 

'So is it fair for me to compare white American player to white American player? Well if you followed my career, when it came to basketball - I have been painfully honest about this - I have never ever had much respect, much use for, white American players.' 

From there, the conversation veered further off-course and Bayless began to speak about the issue of racism. 

'In fact,' he claimed, 'many many many times over my career I've been called reverse racist... but, come on, show me a white American player remotely close to Larry Bird since he retired in 1992.

'Cooper Flagg is 6'9 tall with athletic ability and leaping ability Larry Bird never thought about having. Cooper Flagg is at least going to be in Bird's universe.'
