But after seeing James play against the Sixers, he finally spoke up for him. James’ triple-double against the Sixers left Bayless speechless. In addition, he praised James as the “most durable superstar.”
LEBRON JAMES: MOST DURABLE SUPERSTAR EVER. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. JUST BANGED KNEES WITH RUI, SHOOK IT RIGHT OFF, SCORED TWICE BANG-BANG. NEVER HAD A CAREER-THREATENING SURGERY. RAREST OF RARE.
