Keyshawn Johnson used to play professional football. Now, he co-hosts the weekday morning debate program Undisputed with Skip Bayless on FS1. Johnson made a claim about LeBron James that went viral on the internet. Bayless frequently critiqued James, yet even he responded to his co-host’s remarks differently.
Johnson and Bayless discussed the LeBron James dunks and poster dunks in a segment on the Undisputed. This was when Keyshawn Johnson made the blunder. This is what he said:
He doesn't jump like Michael. I don't even remember if I have ever seen LeBron posterizing anyone. I have seen Jordan posterize people, I have seen Kobe posterize people. He may have one or two.Keyshawn Johnson via Undisputed on FS1
The comment from Johnson might stun any viewer. LeBron James can jump and dunk, and he has done posters before. He has done it across the 20 years of his career. Either Johnson was trolling, or he purposefully said it to bring more attention among the basketball fans. Either way, the comment will make basketball fans not take Johnson seriously.
Even Bayless responded to Johnson’s statement differently. Bayless has a history of having absurd takes on James sometimes. For a segment, Bayless was the voice of reason. Keyshawn Johnson did not back down and continued to back up his point.

James did not take part in the dunk contest, and over the years, analysts have used it against him. However, he did have some amazing dunks that were on par with those competing. Fans went online to tweet about Johnson’s absurd comment.
People have criticized Johnson for his statement about the Los Angeles Lakers star. Many reactions supported James and made Johnson’s statement a bluff. For reactions, scroll below:
LeBron James has a 21-year legacy, and his daily work involves breaking records and rims together. At six feet nine, he is much more suited to dunk and place the player in front of him. Throughout his career, he even did that frequently. Even though the four-time NBA champion isn’t the finest dunker, he still had some amazing moments.
