So when the analyst was presented with a chance to talk down on James and prop Jordan while fielding questions on the latest episode of the Skip Bayless podcast, he unsurprisingly went all-in.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com\/2024\/04\/3102870e-untitled-design-2024-04-13t110728.169.jpg?format=auto&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"&quot;Does MJ Beat the 6 Teams LeBron Lost to?&quot;: Fan Puts Skip Bayless' Michael Jordan Beliefs to the Test\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of his listeners asked, \u201cCould Michael Jordan beat the six NBA Finals teams LeBron lost to?\u201d Bayless compared James\u2019 first NBA Finals battle against the San Antonio Spurs to Jordan and the Chicago Bulls facing off against the Larry Bird-led Boston Celtics in the first round of the 1986 playoffs. The Bulls were swept 3-0, but the series is fondly remembered for Jordan\u2019s Game 2 heroics in Boston. He finished the game with 63 points, six assists, five rebounds, three steals, and two blocks, prompting Bird to give him the ultimate compliment during a post-game interview with the Boston Globe,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s God disguised as Michael Jordan. He is the most awesome player in the NBA. Today in Boston Garden, on national TV, in the playoffs, he put on one of the greatest shows of all time. I couldn\u2019t believe anybody could do that against the Boston Celtics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bayless, a Spurs fan, claimed that the 1986 Bulls with a young Jordan would\u2019ve suffered the same fate as 23-year-old James and the Cavaliers. While he was measured in his approach when discussing the Lakers superstar\u2019s first Finals loss, the rest didn\u2019t follow suit. Bayless claimed the 1998 Bulls would\u2019ve easily beaten the 2011 Dallas Mavericks, the 2014 San Antonio Spurs, and the 2015 Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n<div id=\"embed-tweet-https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkipBaylessShow\/status\/1778819998628098215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"data-event my-2\" data-type=\"embed\" data-variant=\"tweet\" data-property=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkipBaylessShow\/status\/1778819998628098215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen10786002_19=\"1286\" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time10786002_19=\"100\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired10786002_19=\"1\">\n<div class=\"rsme-embed rsme-twitter-embed mx-auto max-w-sm my-2.5\">\n<div>\n<p>The 72-year-old then stopped explaining and simply claimed that the 1998 Bulls would\u2019ve beaten the Kevin Durant-led 2017 and 2018 Warriors.
