‘No, they do not’: Skip Bayless has something to say about LeBron James after what the Lakers did

Skip Bayless has aimed yet another dig at LeBron James, this time following the Los Angeles Lakers’ 124-114 win against the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers had Luka Doncic back after he missed their last game, and he scored 32 points to help them win the game. Walker Kessler got a double-double too, and they didn’t even have Austin Reaves available. That shows just how good a side they are, and Bayless has used this to criticise James without even naming him. Skip Bayless says the Los Angeles Lakers don’t miss LeBron James James spent eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers and helped them win the 2020 NBA Championship. The King had his ups and downs with the team, but when he was at his best, he was exceptional and among the very best players the NBA had ever seen. Yet, many people like Bayless have constantly had a go at James for his shortcomings during his time with the Lakers. Even though it has been a few months since he left Los Angeles and joined the Philadelphia 76ers, some of them still fire shots at James while speaking about the Lakers. That is exactly what Bayless appears to have done now, by claiming that the Los Angeles giants don’t miss ‘him’. There is no direct mention of James, but we all know who he is talking about. He tweeted after their win against the Hawks: “The Los Angeles Lakers now have the NBA’s best record. No, they do not miss him.” That last line is unnecessary, in our opinion, but the Lakers deserve huge credit for the way they have performed in the opening 12 games of the season, winning 10. There were a few concerns when James left, and some people even felt they weren’t strong enough to compete with the big teams this season. However, the Lakers have been incredible, and even when Doncic hasn’t been available, they have looked very impressive. That shows how good they are, and even though Bayless didn’t have to say it, it does look like the Lakers are not missing ‘him’.
