Skip Bayless Criticizes LeBron James for Free-Throw Struggles in Lakers’ Loss to Magic
The Los Angeles Lakers saw their six-game winning streak snapped in a tough loss to the Orlando Magic, drawing criticism from outspoken analyst Skip Bayless.
Known for targeting LeBron James, Bayless took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the NBA superstar for his ongoing free-throw shooting struggles.
“By his standards, LeBron remains a poor free throw shooter in Year 22.
COME ON, LEBRON, PUT IN THE WORK!” Bayless posted, reigniting the debate around James’ performance at the charity stripe.
The game’s turning point came in the final minutes, where missed free throws by both James and Anthony Davis gave Magic guard Franz Wagner the chance to sink a decisive three-pointer.
James hit only 2 of 4 free throws, with one crucial miss down the stretch.
LeBron’s career free-throw shooting average of 73.2% has long been considered a weakness in his otherwise stellar resume.
This season, he’s shooting 72.8%—and attempting a career-low 5.4 free throws per game.
Despite Bayless’ critique, LeBron remains a force in his 22nd NBA season, averaging 24 points, 9.3 assists, and 8.3 rebounds while posting a career-high 43% shooting from three.
As retirement rumors swirl, the debate over his legacy continues to dominate conversations.
