Lakers star James is going through another great season, and despite the team's poor record, he can average the league's high 30 points in 54 games this season, in addition to 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists, which is a 37-year-old veteran.
Earlier this month, James became the first player in NBA history to score 10,000 points+ 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists, and not long ago, he surpassed Jazz star Carl Malone in the overall scoring list to second place in history. Every game he plays is making history and setting new records; in the process, there are always flowers and applause.
Skip Bayless never stopped criticizing James, stating that the Fox sports journalist taunted James nearly 7,000 times on social media, tv shows and more, and he always found jaw-dropping angles. For example, James scored 56 points against the Warriors, but he sneered that he only gave 3 assists; yesterday against the 76ers James was absent due to injury, he immediately said that James was just to avoid Embiid...
Today, Skip Bayless has found a new perspective, and in his latest episode, he criticized James as the king of manipulating public opinion and likes to use the media to enhance his influence.
"I have no doubt that you would think my criticism of James was excessive, but you know what? Someone has to tell the truth about James's manipulation of public opinion, he is the king of media manipulation, he is the king of storytelling, which helps him to increase his influence and historical status. Skip Bayless said.
Speaking about James' recent achievement of surpassing Malone, Skip Bayless said that it is not as great as everyone thinks, and he thinks James is just taking advantage of the three-point era.
Carl Malone has made 85 three-pointers in his 19-year career, but James has made 2,129 three-pointers. Do you know what that means? That means he has 6132 more points on the perimeter than LeBron, which is a huge advantage, which is the difference in times. Skip Bayless continued.
There is no doubt that Skip Bayless is a veritable Jamhee who has made a lot of money using these angles of ridicule and criticism, and his contract with Fox Sports is $32 million for 4 years, which is more than the salary of many active players. From this point of view, he is the king who manipulates public opinion!
