In the regular season that ended this morning, the Lakers lost to the Spurs 110-117. The team's overall record reached 28 wins and 36 losses, still in ninth place in the West, but the advantage over the 10th place Pelicans was further compressed, leaving only one win.
In this game, James watched from the sidelines because of the sore knee, but he still had to escape the harsh criticism of the outside world, especially the famous skip Bayless, who posted a post accusing James of taking a break in this game, just to impact the scoring king of the season in better shape, and claimed that winning or not winning did not matter in James's eyes, because he only had Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar's historical total scoring record.
It's worth mentioning that this isn't the first time Skip Bayless has slammed LeBron.
As early as last season, when some media compared James and Jordan together, he immediately refuted, saying that James simply could not lead the talented team to win, which was a fake GAOT;
When James returned to Cleveland as An All-Star captain, he immediately concluded that James would do whatever it took to brush up on the AMFP trophy;
In the last game, when James faced the Warriors' full firepower and slashed 56 points and 10 rebounds to create multiple records, he could actually find another way, mocking James for only 3 assists in the whole game...
Because of his continued and bottomless attack on James, Skip Bayless has also been called "number one Zhan Hei" by many Chinese fans.
Interestingly, Skip Bayless is not only bashing James, he is also quite critical of another star player in the Lakers, Westbrook, and even attracted Wei Shao's wife Nina back on social media, Skip Bayless did not shy away, but replied that he appreciated Nina's behavior of defending her husband, but he would insist on telling the truth in his eyes.
Regardless of Skip Bayless's purpose, insisting on not going with James, it is undoubtedly not a wise view to blame James on the Lakers' plight this season. So far this season, the nearly 38-year-old veteran has averaged 29.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, shooting 52.2% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range, and many of the data have reached career-highs in recent years while maintaining considerable efficiency.
Compared to Westbrook's continued slump and Davis's frequent injuries, James is definitely the biggest highlight of the Lakers in this bleak season!
