NBA analyst Skip Bayless takes center stage in yet another NBA news update as he somehow found a way to take a jibe at LeBron James after the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Bayless is infamous for constantly pulling the LA Lakers star's leg and taunting him at every opportunity he gets. On this occasion, though, he connected LeBron James to an event he had zero involvement in, something that irked the fans of the NBA legend.
In other news, the NBA authorities decided to grant an extended period of rest after Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics. The news comes soon after the conclusion of Game 2, which saw the Miami Heat take a 2-0 lead over their opponents.

NBA News Update: Skip Bayless takes another jibe at LeBron James
The Miami Heat completed yet another comeback as they beat the Boston Celtics 106-101 to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals series.
Everyone around the league reacted to the Heat's incredible never-say-die spirit and expressed their disappointment at the way the Celtics continued to lose focus down the stretch. However, NBA analyst Skip Bayless was intent on serving his own agenda against LeBron James.
As the Miami Heat celebrated another famous victory, Skip Bayless called out LeBron James, claiming that the franchise didn't need him to win a championship. A former Heat player himself, LeBron James left the franchise in 2014, after which the team has failed to legitimately challenge for an NBA championship until now.
Bayless also poked fun at the LA Clippers franchise, saying that their exit from the 2020 NBA playoffs is irrelevant given the way the Miami Heat have been performing.
