The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.

After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.

I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.

Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.

NBA Fans Slam Skip Bayless for Criticizing LeBron James’ MVP Title

Skip Bayless’s unfiltered take drew the ire of NBA fans, who could not help but slam him for his unnecessary claim to LeBron James’ MVP title.

A pile of fans voiced their frustration over Bayless dragging James’ stat lines in the Olympics, which already proved his superiority over Stephen Curry. Curry was instrumental in Team USA’s win, but it could not surpass LeBron.

James, however, had an outstanding tournament, averaging 14.2 points, 8.5 assists, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. Although Curry led in scoring with an average of 14.8 points per game, fans believe James’ all-around performance and leadership were more significant.
