NBA Analyst indicates Jayson Tatum deliberately fouled Lebron James due to his ineffectual free-throw shooting

NBA Analyst says Jayson Tatum was very much aware of LeBron James’ free-throw shooting skills. He indicated that Tatum did not hesitate before throwing his hand at James as he knew that was the best chance.

Analyst Skip Bayless has always shared a message to the NBA fans that he tells something that people do not want to hear but they need to hear. In the 116-120 loss against the Boston Celtics, instead of cursing the referees for their decision, Skip was after LeBron James and his inability to shoot 3-pointers and free throws.

Skip Bayless posted an ignorant tweet notifying Jayson Tatum’s intention while fouling LeBron James. “Jason Tatum knew exactly what he was doing. Foul LeBron because he’s historically such a shaky late-game free throw shooter.”

“BUT THEY DIDN’T CALL THE OBVIOUS HACK ON THE ARM. FOR ONCE LEBRON DID WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE AND WE DIDN’T GET TO SEE IF HE COULD’VE MADE 1 OF 2 FREE THROWS.”

What did Jayson Tatum say after victory against LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers?

“The last two minutes and overtime was a blur,” Jayson Tatum said. “I don’t really know what happened. I gotta watch the game, watch the film, ’cause everything was happening so fast.” The response shared by Jayson Tatum is quite obvious as no team member would come out and speak against their teams’ victory.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis were clearly frustrated after analyzing the decision making of referees in their 27^th loss of the season. Anthony Davis termed the result as ‘cheating’ against them. “It’s bulls*** at the end of the day, it’s unacceptable… We got cheated tonight, it’s a blatant foul.”

Whereas, LeBron James said he did not understand the decision taken by the referees, “You saw my reaction. It’s challenging, I don’t get it. I am attacking the paint just as much as any other guy in the league that’s shooting double-digit free throws a night. I don’t get it honestly.”
