The Los Angeles Lakers have been shocking this season. After signing Russell Westbrook during the off-season, they were dubbed as championship favorites. However, currently, the Lakers are fighting for a playoff spot and LeBron James is facing all the heat.
With inconsistent performances all season, the Lakers have a lot of problems among their ranks. While some have been calling James the problem at the Lakers, others have lauded him for carrying the team single-handedly.
One of LeBron’s biggest critics, Skip Bayless, has once again bashed James mercilessly. After the game against Miami Heat, Bayless tweeted to criticize LeBron, which has sent fans in a frenzy.

Skip Bayless bashes LeBron James
Bayless is a known LeBron hater, and he doesn’t miss an opportunity to bash him. After a disappointing 113-107 loss against the Miami Heat, Bayless went all out.
Despite LeBron putting in a 30+ performance, Bayless chose to criticize James’ shooting form from the long-range during the game.

His tweet read, “Ouch. He has turned into a high-volume, below-average 3-point shooter.” His tweet has sent NBA fans on Twitter in a frenzy with many bashing Bayless for the useless criticism of LeBron James. With Bayless being famous for throwing shade at LeBron, fans have taken to Twitter to give their opinions regarding the tweet.
Lakers nearly pulled off their greatest comeback in 20 years, at Miami vs Heat without Lowry or Herro. LeBron had 33 but shot just 1-8 from three. Ouch. He has turned into a high-volume, below-average 3-point shooter. Hard to win that way. Lakers are a game under .500.

How did LeBron perform against the Heat?
Despite all the criticism from Bayless, LeBron was still able to get another 30+ game. He scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists against his former team. LeBron got his 21st 30 point game this season, the most by any player.
Although LeBron registered another 30+ performance, the limelight went to Jimmy Butler. He broke LeBron James’ record for most triple-doubles in a Miami Heat jersey. After the loss against the Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers are at 8th position in the Western Conference.
Fans react to Bayless’ tweet
The recent criticism of King James by Skip Bayless hasn’t been taken well by NBA fans. Moreover, many fans have attributed Bayless’ useless criticism as a means to take out his frustration after the NFL results. Here are some of the reactions to his tweet.

Why are you pointing out that just Miami are missing players… The Lakers are literally missing AD..

Fair point by this user. Although AD has not been outstanding this season, he still is an important part of the starting lineup.
You mean the officials almost pulled a comeback. I watched that game and Lakers didn’t even play, the refs did it all for them. Still took the L.

Skip your takes/analysis is just hot garbage… Somehow Ariza, Monk, and Westbrick soot a combined 1-12 from 3 point range but it’s Lebron’s 1-8 that’s somehow the reason they lost albeit he dropped 33 and was 8-11 from the line… have to find some way to pin it on Lebron

What's wrong Skipper? Didn't Brady NEARLY pulled a comeback today also? It happens in sports. Did you not know this?
