“Almost as damaging as WESTBRICK” Skip Bayless takes a brutal dig at LeBron James for his poor shooting

Skip Bayless has made his way back to the NBA headlines as once again he proved that he is the biggest LeBron James hater and the Lakers’ star lives rent free in his head. Right now there aren’t any games featuring the King even going on but still, the analyst has managed to take a dig at him and has also brought in his fellow teammate Russell Westbrook to the conversation. This time Skip Bayless has focused up on LeBron James’ shooting stats and criticized him for the poor results. As he has been attempting a lot many shots but isn’t making them.

The Los Angeles Lakers already had a terrible year last season and not a lot could have changed even if LeBron James had better shooting stats. The team’s big three failed everyone around especially Skip Bayless as he has been riding against them since day 1. LeBron James in his 19^th season averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting 52.4% from the field and 35.9% from downtown. But still, his godlike performance and efforts weren’t able and enough to carry the Lakers to the postseason. As the team didn’t even reach the play-in tournament and had to call a very early wrap-up. Skip Bayless though has always criticized the King being a generational hater and this time the reason is his Free Throws and Three-point shooting.

Skip Bayless on LeBron James’ poor shooting showcase last season

Skip Bayless mocking LeBron James’ free-throw shooting skills took a shot at him via his personal Twitter handle. As in a tweet, he wrote: “I keep hearing LeBron is “in the lab.” He’d better be working on free-throw shooting. He took the 15^th most in the NBA last season, ranked only 86^th in FT %. Just killed the Lakers. Almost as damaging as Westbrick.”

But it didn’t just end there as Skip Bayless also fired a shot towards LeBron James’ three-point shooting skills as in another tweet of his he wrote: “I keep hearing LeBron is “in the lab.” He’d better be working on 3-pt shooting. He took the 15th most in the NBA last season, ranked only 93rd in 3-pt %. Just killed the Lakers. Almost as damaging as Westbrick.”

LeBron James is going to enter his 20^th season in the league soon. And, with time passing by he has just improved in every aspect of the game. He wasn’t a shooter when he made it to the league. But today, every team in the league without a doubt can trust him with the ball when the game is on the line as he is capable of pulling up from anywhere anytime. He has also improved his free-throw shooting skills and did everything he can to be better as a player and the stats are loud enough to say that. So Skip Bayless mocking him with attempts and makes is just senseless as a shooter is always going to shoot no matter what. And, comparing King James with Russell Westbrook is also unfair especially when it’s about shooting the ball.
