“I Thought He Stayed ‘In the Lab’”: Skip Bayless Disparages LeBron James as He Is Shooting 1.6 Percentage Points Worse Than Russell Westbrook

As far as doling out the hate on someone goes, nobody does it better than Skip Bayless. His disapproval of LeBron James is legendary. Tonight, the King’s poor performance helped his cause. The media analyst was at it again. And we think this time, he’s right.

For the Lakers, the job was simple, beat a Utah Jazz. A team with no all-stars and is technically in a “race to the bottom”. Utah, however, had other plans. Jazz have made a fiery start.

They are now 7-3. It doesn’t look like they are tanking. And the Lakers? Well, they might just be tanking. An abysmally bad 2-6 record. It would seem the last two wins were more or less an anomaly. LeBron James’ squad still has many, many questions to answer.

Tonight, they shoot poorly once again. And LBJ in particular was horrendous. But their quality defense was also out of order. Skip, of course, found a good opportunity.

Skip Bayless continues his verbal barrage on LeBron James!

Bayless’ tweets are centered around calling out James. And tonight he made a strong point. While we all look at players like Russell Westbrook and Frank Vogel as the scapegoats and LBJ is virtually untouchable. What happens when he plays badly?

He is shooting a record low 20.7% from 3-point land. And Bayless was into the stat sheet quite early.

Skip’s stat is actually bolstered here by a correction. To make things worse, he has missed the last 13 shots and not 12 from 3.

While a bounce-back game is definitely on the cards, and surely you can expect him to go off from 3 the next game out. It’s time we disparage him and instead give our flowers to Russell Westbrook.

Bayless’ point does raise a few important questions and we should praise Russell Westbrook

Westbrook was pretty good tonight. We say pretty good because he has just risen up out of a slump and there is no guarantee that this was a one-off game. Nonetheless, we should praise him. He has been great off the bench and his numbers are just phenomenal.

Also, he is shooting better than LeBron James.

So it is time we call out the King. Is his throne in danger? It might possibly have been usurped already. But will he fight back?
