Skip Bayless assigns 75% of the blame of the season on LeBron James, calls him phony GOAT
The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers roster was entirely designed by LeBron James. Whoever he wanted, he got them. What player LBJ did not want, found themselves wearing different threads this season. However, after things didn’t work out, LeBron showed little to no accountability and instead decided to focus on his GOAT case instead.
Skip Bayless talked about the same on Undisputed, where he called LBJ the phoniest GOAT ever. He made some valid points about the same as well.
At the All-Star break, the Lakers were just 4 games under .500, and many expected them to make a move in the final part of the season. They even had a chance to move out of the play-in spot. However, the Lakers started losing, and LeBron James started focusing more on his scoring.
We saw LBJ sit out two crucial games for the Lakers instead of being out and helping his team. As we’ve all seen,
Kobe Bryant or
Michael Jordan would’ve never done the same. They would’ve been out fighting for the post-season, leading their teams from the front.
Well, this may be the only time I agree with Skip, but LeBron’s actions have made him a phony GOAT.
