From Jubilee Media, this is Surrounded, where one brave soul faces a room full of disagreeers. Today's guest is the popular sports commentator Skip Bayless, who will be debating 25 NBA and NFL superfans. Skip will debate them one-on-one until they are voted out by their peers and replaced by someone new. Let's get into it.
I'm Skip Bayless. I've been a sports commentator for many years on ESPN and on Fox. Now I host the Skip Bayless Show on YouTube. Right now, I am surrounded by 20 NBA and NFL super fans, and I wish each and every one of you the best of luck today because you're going to need it. My first claim is, Magic Johnson is the greatest Laker of all time.
I know you think Magic is the greatest Laker of all time. I do. Skip, I think it's Kobe. I think the game is about a bucket at the end of the day. I think the priority is scoring the basketball. Kobe did that better than Magic. I think both of them were very, very transformative in what they did for the Laker franchise and the NBA in general.
And I would give it to Kobe because of his scoring prowess and also, of course, how transformative he was and how many players he inspired.
Look, I take nothing away from Kobe's ability to score buckets, get buckets because nobody was greater in the history of the game. Magic did transform the franchise because remember Kareem had been a Laker for four years doing next to nothing until Magic walks in the door in 1980
and turns them around and gets them all the way to a game six at Philadelphia in the finals in which Kareem could not go. And I believe Magic Johnson that day at Philadelphia that evening played the greatest NBA game of all time, greatest playoff game because he goes as a rookie for 42, 15 and seven with three steals. He makes 14 or 23 shots in all 14 of his free throws.
and lifts the Lakers over Dr. Jay Sixers to a championship and he's off to the races. Now let's look quickly at Kobe. Again, no disrespect, but I feel like Kobe was obviously Robin to Batman in the three-peat with Shaq because Shaq dominated those three finals the way no players ever dominated an NBA finals to me, including Jordan. That's why I think Shaq is the second greatest Laker of all time.
And in those finals, Kobe was good, but he wasn't close to the production that Shaq was equaling. So then Shaq, they fall apart, they lose to the Pistons, obviously. 2004 and he's gone traded way to Miami. And here we go. So Kobe without Shaq misses the playoffs the first year. Then they lose to the Suns in the first round and he has the pout game in game seven.
