“Hasn’t Learned That in his 17-Year Career”: LeBron James Receives Harsh Criticism
Follow Us
Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe seemed to have just another debate to determine the greatest basketball player of all-time among LeBron James and Michael Jordan.
It was just another day for Bayless appearing on the latest edition of FS1’s Undisputed along with Sharpe. To no one’s surprise, Bayless started criticizing James straightaway. He pointed out a major weakness in James’ game- free throws.
Bayless pointed out how James has kept changing his style of shooting from the line. He talked about a few major games where he wasn’t quite accurate in making free throws. Over his 17-year NBA career, James has averaged just over 73% from the line shooting fourth-most number of free throws.

“I have never, ever in all my years of covering and watching basketball, seen a man change his free throw routine as often as LeBron. LeBron went to some bizarre new form where he was coming to a dead stop in the set position. You can’t shoot FTs like that.” — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/CXFSUnQINU

Skipp Bayless listed major playoff failures for LeBron James
One thing that many bring up in favor of MJ during a James-Jordan debate is the number of championships they have won. James has won half the number of the titles as Jordan. Bayless pointed out how LeBron’s game wasn’t on top during the postseason. Bayless went on to list out James’ lackluster post-season performances and believed it was because of Chris Bosh and Ray Allen that Miami Heat were able to win the title in 2013.
