Skip Bayless tweets related to Michael Jordan while viewing LeBron James’s stat pad on Game of the Finals vs Heat.
Game 1 of the NBA Finals did not turn out the way anyone had imagined. Three of the Heat’s starters suffered injuries. Goran Dragic, the Heat’s points leader this postseason, suffered a plantar tear in his left foot, which could put him out of play for the remainder of the final.
Bam Adebayo aggravated his left shoulder that had bothered him on the Celtics series while grabbing a rebound. And Jimmy Butler twisted his left ankle on his way to the basket late in the second quarter. Although Jimmy came back, he didn’t look exactly the same.
The Lakers pulled off a big win and if things don’t improve for the Heat on the injury front, this could end up being a sweep for the Lakers.
Now Dragic is gone, Bam just hurt his wrist, and Jimmy Butler doesn’t look very good on the ankle he spun. SWEEEEEEEEP. Sleeeeeep.

Skip Bayless ‘Michael Jordan’ digs into LeBron James
In his latest tweet, Skip Bayless has again shot LeBron James. He tweeted saying that Michael Jordan would chuckle seeing LeBron James in the final vs. Heat today.
Somewhere, Michael Jordan is drinking and laughing at LeBron James.

This tweet could be interpreted in two main ways:
1. LeBron playing garbage minutes in a game his team already won
Although the Lakers were comfortably on top of the game, LeBron played to the 1.23 mark in the fourth quarter. LeBron fell short on a triple-double for an assist.
Also read: “LeBron was going to finish off Jae Crowder for knocking the ball out of his hands”
The tweet could very well be about how Michael Jordan would laugh while looking at LeBron’s stats during the trash time of a finals game.
WAY TO GO, LEBRON. PLAY ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 1:23 MARK OF AN EXPLOSION TRYING TO GET YOUR TRIPLE DOUBLE VS DECIMATED AND DEMORALIZED HEAT. EVEN POWER ONE HOME VS THE BACKUPS AND THE HALF CUP RETURNING TO COURT.

2. LeBron James winning his ring possibly easier
With 2 of the Heat starters out with injuries, with no decided schedule for their return, this looks like an easy sweep for the Lakers. Jimmy Butler was on the court but he didn’t look very good.
Therefore, Skip Bayless could be hinting that Michael Jordan would be chuckling seeing how easy it has been for LeBron in the playoffs so far.
And now, with the injuries of 3 starters, the Heat would be at the mercy of the Lakers star.
If Jimmy Butler is out, and that ankle twist looked bad, this WILL BE a sweep. Congratulations, LeBron. Meant to be.

With the unpredictability of the availability of Bam and Dragic, the Lakers seem to have an easy path to their 17th championship.
