Skip Bayless is Dumb

Skip Bayless is stupid. The man who has a negative view on everything is now saying he lost a little respect because LeBron didn't do the dunk contest and that LeBron let the league down.

LeBron let the league down. The LeBron that played in the rookie game on Friday (after they made it mandatory, even if you made the real all star game), skipped the dunk contest on Saturday, and played a ton (I'm gonna guess not Paul Silas's plan) on minutes on Sunday in the game. Oh yea, the league also scheduled him on Wednesday and Thursday before the All-Star weekend. Geez, you could think LeBron was nuts for not wanting to go 5 days straight, it's like his team is in a playoff hunt or something.

I would've loved it James had participated in the dunk contest. But I also would've loved it if Kobe, Vince, McGrady, Melo, Richardson or Wade would've competed. It's not like LeBron is the only big gun not to show up. But losing respect for a 20 year old kid because he doesn't compete in the dunk contest is absurd.
