Skip Bayless Places Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler Above Michael Jordan In One Category

Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler must be the opposite of LeBron James.

How else can you explain the recent comments from Fox Sports 1 media personality Skip Bayless. On a recent episode of his show "Undisputed," Bayless gave Butler the ultimate compliment.

He said Butler was better in one basketball aspect than Michael Jordan, something he'd never say about James. This came on the heels of Butler scoring 56 points against the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 Monday.

"I have never seen a more patient, cleverer, craftier scorer than this guy, and that's including Jordan."

"In all my years of watching and studying the NBA, I have never seen a more patient, cleverer, craftier scorer than this guy, and that's including Jordan," Bayless said. "He is totally in rhythm. It’s all in his own speed. He is like, 'I am gonna wait, I am gonna wait.' He is not just taking you down low, he is taking you on the perimeter.”

For the record, Bayless did surprisingly offer some love for James in the above clip. Just a little.
