LeBron James’ poor shooting from three pointers in the Los Angeles Lakers’ latest loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves has led Skip Bayless to call him “LeBricking” on Twitter.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ start to the season gets worse with every passing game, as the storied franchise are now on a historically bad 0-5 start after their latest loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. After four consecutive defeats to start the season, the Lakers would have hoped to turn their fortunes around with a win–but it was more of the same against the Wolves.
The Lakers’ shooting issues continued in their 111-102 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the whole team completed only 9 out of their 29 attempted three pointers at a 31% success rate. While his teammates failed miserably from three point range, LeBron James was more of the same as the NBA legend had a miserable shooting night as well – shooting 1 out of 6 threes.
LeBron’s miserable shooting stats from Friday night saw him have a 17% success rate from three pointers, while his luck from two pointers was barely decent either – the Lakers superstar only completed 9 of his 18 two pointers at a 50% rate. The shooting put on display by both him and his team is nowhere near top level, and Skip Bayless ripped into him for his shooting form.
What did Bayless have to say about LeBron’s shooting form?
It is fair to say that Bayless was not impressed with LeBron’s shooting form on display.
Tweeting on his official Twitter account after the game, Bayless wrote about LeBron’s less than flattering stats from this season so far and pointed at his lack of shooting form. The NBA analyst wrote: “LeBron James went 1-6 from three, dropping him to 10-41 through 5 games. That’s 24%. That’s some serious LeBricking.”
The tweet went viral in no time, and the Lakers’ struggles keep getting tougher after a fifth consecutive defeat to start their season with – the worst record by any team this season.
