Although the Clippers lost in the playoff last season, analysts never seemed to back down. Skip Bayless always finds a way to prove LeBron isn’t the GOAT. He said, “Kawhi Leonard is making 91% of his free throws (78-86). LeBron is making 71% of his (85-120), up from 69% last yr. and 67% the yr. before. How can you call yourself the GOAT when you’re such a lousy FT shooter??? Think of the thousands of points he has cost his team over 18 yrs.”

Kawhi Leonard no matter what is a good shooter in the league. And comparing him to LeBron is not justified. Especially in the free throw shooting. LeBron was never a great FT shooter. However, he is trying to improve. With a lot of season still left, it is tough to pick the favorites.
