'Acting Like MJ Shot 90% From 3': NBA Fans Dunk on Skip Bayless After LeBron James' Criticism Over Better Scorer
NBA fans passionately defend LeBron James as Skip Bayless questions his scoring ability. Check out how Lakers Nation is pouring out their anger.
LeBron James recently achieved a historic milestone. The Los Angeles Lakers legend became the first NBA player to score 40,000 career points during a game against the Denver Nuggets on March 2, 2024. In addition, King James has scored double-digit points in 1,205 out of his last 1,475 regular-season games.
However, for legendary sports columnist and commentator Skip Bayless, this achievement is not impressive. On the Skip Bayless Show, he expressed his skepticism and criticized James for being a below-average three-point shooter and a poor free-throw shooter.
Bayless also highlighted that LeBron's three-point shooting percentage ranks 118th among currently active players, while his free-throw shooting percentage ranks 183rd. He further discussed LeBron's shooting inefficiencies in the context of the overall pace of reaching 40,000 points and drew comparisons to NBA legends such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. Additionally, Bayless questioned why LeBron James had not prioritized improving his free throw shooting skills, which could have resulted in him scoring even more points.
In response, NBA fans rallied in support of LeBron James.
“This is actually elite hating,“ one comment read.

“Nobody cares about Skip he just uses Bron name to stay relevant, “ read a third comment from a fan who chose to be bold.
Another fan wrote, “Crying this guy is really the biggest hater of all time.”
One fan channeled humor and wrote, “I mean is anyone surprised that he said that? He’s the founding father of the LeBron haters fan club.”
