‘He has lost’: Skip Bayless says he just has one takeaway from LeBron James’ 76ers debut

Skip Bayless stated that his main takeaway from LeBron James' Philadelphia 76ers debut was that the 41-year-old forward has lost significant athleticism and explosive lift. James made his team debut on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, helping Philadelphia spoil the defending champions' ring ceremony with a victory.

Despite noting the physical decline, Bayless praised James' overall opening night performance. James recorded 14 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, and one turnover across 34 minutes of action. Bayless advised that James should focus on serving as a pass-first orchestrator to keep teammates Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown involved.
