LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers star player, has built a significant fan base over the years due to his incredible skills and outstanding achievements. However, he also has his share of critics for the same reasons. One of James’s most prominent and consistent critics is NBA analyst Skip Bayless.
The Lakers faced a significant defeat, concluding the game with a score of 102 to 127 against the Denver Nuggets at the Crypto.com Arena. Following this challenging outcome, Bayless seized the moment to voice his criticism directed at James and the overall performance of the Lakers.
“Nuggets just OWN the Lakers. Nuggets, who had to travel after a hotly contested home loss to Dallas last night, just went on a 50-17 run at Lakers. Pretty pathetic for LeBron and Co,” Bayless wrote in his latest post on X (formerly Twitter).

James made a significant contribution with 18 points, seven assists, and six rebounds during his 35 minutes on the court. The Lakers showcased strong gameplay in the first two quarters. However, the Nuggets took control in the third and fourth quarters, largely due to Nikola Jokic’s outstanding performance.
Skip Bayless Discusses LeBron James’ Social Media Break
James has decided to take a break from social media for the time being. Rich Kleiman, Kevin Durant’s manager, recently shared a post that included a detailed commentary addressing the negative perceptions surrounding them. The Lakers superstar chose to repost this message on his X account (formerly known as Twitter). As a result, this situation gave Skip Bayless the opportunity to react to James’s actions.
“The great irony is [LeBron] is using Rich Kleiman as his jumping-off point. He’s saying, ‘See, he’s so right I’m following him.’ Well, what kind of advice has he been giving to Kevin Durant, who’s had burner accounts!” Bayless remarked in the latest episode of “The Skip Bayless Show.”
