"Sorry LeBron, you're still chasing": Skip Bayless picks Michael Jordan in GOAT take after spotting Bulls icon's jerseys sold in Palm Desert

Veteran sports analyst Skip Bayless continues to be on the case of LeBron James in the GOAT debate despite 'The King' winning a third Olympic gold medal in the just-concluded Paris Games while also earning MVP honors. He took cue for his latest dig while shopping in Palm Desert, California.

Bayless took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his take on the GOAT debate, maintaining how Michael Jordan remains ahead of James in the conversation. He highlighted that the legacy of 'MJ' continues to live on, 26 years since he last played for six-time NBA champions Chicago Bulls.

The former host of the FS1 show Undisputed wrote on his post:

"Walking through a mall in Palm Desert, CA, saw these in an up-front window display. Wait, LeBron just stole -- sorry, won -- Olympic MVP and this store is featuring Jordan jerseys?? He left Chicago in 1998! Sorry, LeBron, you're still chasing."

Check out his post below:

That Bayless continues to be on the case of LeBron James is not at all suprising, after all he's a known critic of the four-NBA champion even during his time with the Miami Heat.

Bayless oftenly ciricizes the NBA superstar for what he perceives as James' lack of "killer instinct" in the clutch, which has garnered mixed reactions from his viewers.

Meanwhile, in helping lead Team USA to the gold medal in the Paris Games, James won MVP honors, averaging all-around numbers of 13.2 points, 8.5 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 25 minutes of play.

LeBron James says Paris could be his last Olympics

LeBron James won his third gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and it could well be his last. He said there's very little chance that he will be back for another run in the next iteration of the Olympics in 2028, even if it's going to happen in his backyard of Los Angeles.

The 39-year-old LA Lakers superstar said after their gold medal-clinching victory over hosts France that he's ruling himself out for the next Olympics, where he would be 43. He said:

"No, I can't see myself playing in L.A., but I also didn't see myself playing in Paris. Four years from now, no, I can't see myself (playing at the Olympics)."

Led by LeBron James, Team USA won its fifth straight Olympic gold medal and 17th overall. He was all-around in his fourth Olympic stint, averaging 13.2 points, 8.5 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in six games.

In the victory over France in the gold medal game, he had 14 points, 10 assists, six rebounds and two steals. James made his Olympic debut in 2004 in Athens, where the U.S. settled for bronze.
