Skip Bayless is baffled at the fact that LeBron James isn’t playing right now and calls him weak as the Lakers are currently in the play-in.
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently in the midst of enduring a rollercoaster of a season. With their two superstars in LeBron James and Anthony Davis being sidelined for extended periods of time, the Lakers faltered down to the bottom few seeds of the Playoffs. The only semblance of hope for them was the fact that they’re defense remained dominant due to Frank Vogel’s schemes.
The Lakers did however, have their team at near full strength with both James and Davis back in the lineup a week or so ago but fell to both the Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors; both of whom are non-Playoff teams on the outside, looking in.
This resulted in the Los Angeles Lakers middling and falling to the 6th seed. In a crucial game against the Portland TrailBlazers a few nights back, LeBron James missed his second straight game due to right ankle soreness. The outcome of this game would send the lose one game back of the 6th seed and decide the tiebreaker between the Blazers and the Lakers.
Skip Bayless goes off on LeBron James for not playing against good teams down the stretch.
Like clockwork, Skip Bayless took to Twitter to ridicule LeBron James for not suiting up to play alongside Anthony Davis and his teammates in games down this home stretch of games. Every loss from here on out is a matter of whether or not the Lakers enter the play-in tournament or not. Skip finds it, “weak” on James’s part to remain sidelined during such a crucial time for the LakeShow.

Hard to believe LeBron James, the most durable superstar ever, STILL isn't playing. Keeps ducking all the tough games (after getting embarrassed in his 1st 2 games back vs Sac and Toronto). Now he'll probably wait for the easiest remaining game, Houston at home on Weds. Weak.— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) May 9, 2021
TRUE. The dribbler has a weak mouth too. : )
Oh boy.
I’m sick of LeBron and his NBA wokeness ilk. Watching the NBA today is like watching a pick-up game in a prison yard.
How I long for the days of Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Dollar Bill Bradley, Earl the Pearl Monroe, John Havlicek, Pistol Pete Maravich, Larry Bird, Dr. J Julius Erving.......
If you remember those guys, you lived through the best of basketball.
No one cares about LeBron James or the other thugball players... the team should move to China.
Haven't seen or heard from bayless for well over a decade.
He was an asshole back then and probably hasn't improved with age.
What is a lebrown james?
Who cares?
Shut up and dribble
The NBA....from the early 1990s...was on a downward trend. I’d say for the past twenty years, there just isn’t any players around to measure up to West, Baylor or Russell.
Used to have some interest concerning NBA playoff time. Now no more in part to Woke numbskulls like LeBejing.
Hmmmm.... Let’s see here... how many are there... LeBoob, LeCreep, LeDick, LeDouche, Le(justmovetoChinaAlready)...
LeBron for president. An egoistic dope fueled by corrupted China money to do their bidding while causing divisive rifts within society. A prerequisite no? While Sleepy can’t dribble or dunk he sure knows how to fall down much more skillfully than LeBump.
The NBA? What’s that? For some reason my daughter is a big fan, so I sat down to watch a game last week. What a yawn fest. Even the playoffs arouse as much excitement as watching paint dry.
Plumlee ball. (Jasón Whitlock) No such thing as Defense anymore
Yeah, Lebron James is a jackass, and Skip Bayless has always been a turd (so is his brother Rick Bayless the celebrity chef but less obviously so.)
“If you remember those guys, you lived through the best of basketball.”
You ain’t joking.
Basketball has gone to hell in a handbasket since those days.
