There was been many analysts who have been charmed by the scoring and defending prowess of LeBron James during his illustrious stint in the NBA. But surely 69-years-old Skip Bayless is not one among those.

However, there is no denying that LeBron James is one-of-a-kind player and not many will be able to surpass his illustrious records. Entering his 19th season, King James has more than 7.3 assists per game, which is the most by any guard, playing as long as the LA Lakers marquee. Moreover, LeBron James’ vision be it, with the no look pass, has always charmed hoop fans. Plus, his accuracy has always been pin-point, be it anywhere on the court. Justifying the same as Russell Westbrook has been seen as the primary ball handler during the open plays for the purple and gold army, Skip Bayless feels sorry for LeBron James.

Talking about the same Skip Bayless stated, “LeBron is the best passer in basketball and he belongs at point guard for the Lakers. He’s as close to Magic Johnson as you can get. Russell Westbrook almost makes me feel sorry for LeBron, but he signed off on this.”

Russell Westbrook is the highest triple-doubler scorer in the history of the league. Thinking the same, LA Lakers have made his primary ball handler. However, a rare occasion occurred when Skip Bayless felt sorry for LeBron James and feels like the Akron Native should once again take up his responsibility of taking the ball and running the play.

Having said that, the 2020 NBA Champions have made a slow start in the 2021-22 season, with Russell Westbrook being at the peak of it. However, many believe that once normalcy and consistency returns to their camp, LeBron James might be motivated to lead the team from the front, perhaps being the primary ball handler once again.
