“LeBron James has missed way too many buzzer beating 3s! Phony GOAT!”: Skip Bayless goes on an absolute tirade following the Lakers abysmal 3OT loss to the Kings
Skip Bayless drags LeBron James and his 3-point shooting through the mud on Twitter as the Lakers lose to the Kings in triple overtime.
The Lakers announcers had the right idea in their mind when they claimed that nobody deserved to win last night’s game between LeBron James and company, and the Sacramento Kings. The three overtimes that plagued Staples Center were littered with defensive lapses, immediately followed up by heavily contested shots falling through the net.
After 3OTs, Alvin Gentry’s Kings finally pulled through against the Lakers, winning 141-137. The Los Angeles Lakers are now below .500 once again, falling to 10-11 on the season. The Kings on the other hand, have beat both the Blazers and the purple and gold; two squads that are considered by many as Playoff locks.
Of course, with any Lakers loss comes Skip Bayless taking to Twitter to single out LeBron James for LA’s shortcomings on either side of the ball. Tonight, Skip decided to target James’s abysmal 3-point shooting.
Skip Bayless goes off on LeBron James.
LeBron James has leaned on his improved 3-point shooting over the past few years that he has been a Laker. His takes to this rim have noticeably decreased but by the way Skip Bayless says it, he would have you believe James hasn’t driven to the rack in 3 years, which of course, is not the case.
Yes, LeBron James shot extremely poorly from beyond the arc against the Kings, going 2-13 on the night. And yes, he did miss two buzzer beating 3s at the end of regulation and OT1. Bayless, rightfully so, calls out the 19 year vet on the poor shooting.
LEBRON MISSED ANOTHER LAST-SECOND THREE!!! THAT’S THREE IN TWO GAMES!!! THAT’S THE PHONY GOAT FOR YOU.

However, he is trying to push the agenda that LeBron is simply ‘too scared’ to drive in, which is certainly not true. Nearly half of his 30 points came in the 3 overtime periods and were all either from drives to the rim or free throws resulting from shot attempts at the rim.
‘The King’ is still very much capable of getting to his spot 0-5 feet away from the basket so do not have Skip Bayless brainwash you into thinking that he’s a ‘shell of himself when driving to the rim’.
COME ON, LEBRON, YOU DID IT AGAIN! WHY CAN’T YOU EVER HAVE THE GUTS TO JUSR DRIVE IT, GET FOULED AND MAKE ONE OF TWO FREE THROWS TO WIN THE GAME??? YOU HAVE RUN FROM THE LATE-GAME FREE-THROW LINE YOUR WHOLE CAREER. YOU TOOK ANOTHER THREE. LEBRICK. OVERTIME.

![Jason Williams and Chris Webber have always been known to indulge in strange antics with each other, which was raised by Comedian Andrew Schulz, on his show, Flagrant. Appearing on the show, Jason Williams was asked whether he was involved "in a drive-by paintball shooting of Chris Webber's house in Sacramento". The White Chocolate burst into laughter and "plead the fifth". Williams confessed that maybe "his house caught some bullets along the way". However, to everyone's surprise, he told the comedian that "he [Chris Webber] was probably with me in some them drivebys." Adding to this, Williams also shared a hilarious story of a similar driveby with Webber, where the latter's shoe fell off but he had to somehow get it back. "We were doing that one time..we couldn't get in the gate or something so we decided we're going to go down and do our thing at the security guard at night, right, so we got two little scooters we are riding on these scooters and we dropped them in the dark and we are walking through the woods and whatever, we go the paintballs, we got the rocks, boom boom and we take off and left the scooters. But C Web's shoe falls off. And we got back and I was like 'Bro, where is your shoe?'" The story left everyone in the panel in splits as Williams made the 2021 Hall of Fame Inductee go all the way back to fetch his shoe because living in an all-white community, Webber was probably the only one with that size of shoe. However, on a serious note, the 2006 NBA champion confessed that it was one of the most fun times he had with his former teammate. He added that "it was a blessing in disguise" because they had to play a lot of games in different locations. It is obviously heartwarming to see such a chemistry between the legendary duo of Sacramento Kings. Jason Williams once had to travel in the undercarriage of the team bus Rookie hazing has been a part of teams in the NBA, where the veterans on the team try to build chemistry with young players in their own ways like alotting chores. Chris Webber once narrated one such incident where the rookie Jason Williams hid in the undercarriage of the team bus to avoid it. Upon reaching the hotel, the team noticed that Williams was missing. After searching for some time, the team looked under the bus and there was the 1998 draftee. When Webber asked him the reason, White Chocolate responded, "I don't wanna ride with y'all bi*ches up here." Even though it is a fun tradition among teammates to get to know each other, it did take a toll on the one-time All-Star. However, it was not long after this, the two developed good team ability to make some amazing plays together.](https://thesportsrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/7f3ad985-nba-2023-11-08t231816.707-300x300.jpg)
