Skip Bayless has pointed his axe towards LeBron James. The 4-time NBA Champion went 0-7 in Tuesday’s match against Orlando Magic.

Although LeBron James netted the most points for the Los Angeles Lakers, his shots behind the 3-point arc were off. James went for 28 points in the game with 7 rebounds and 5 assists, whereas Russel Westbrook took them towards the win. Westbrook has one of the worst 3-point shots in the current Laker’s roster.

Westbrook went for 15 points in the game with 13 rebounds and 13 assists. Back in 2010, Skip Bayless targeted LeBron by saying he is more of a Robin than Batman. He further said, he is more of a Pippen than a Jordan. Moving forward, he has now knocked him over on Twitter with remarks on his 3-point shooting.

Skip Bayless tweeted, “Lakers finally win a game DECISIVELY – in spite of LeBron suffering yet another dismal 3-point night … 0-7. Rest of the team was 17-36 from 3! Westbrook had more impact than LeBron with a triple double (15/12/13). LeBron now rivaling Westbrook for the NBA’s worst 3-pt shooter.”

James and The Los Angeles Lakers have put a stop to their 4-game losing streak after win over Orlando Magic. “It was a good win for us,” James said after the game. “They’re playing extremely well. They won eight of their last nine and they beat Boston twice.”

“I’m a hooper,” Westbrook said. “I can do anything, anytime, anywhere. I’ll continue to do whatever is asked of me until further notice.” Westbrook also penned his overall no. 197 triple-double in the NBA career.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham said off his team, “It’s not so much: Can he start? Or are his starting days over? It’s not about that. It’s about him being able to bring a counter punch, a new extra wave off the bench. … I know it’s been hard at times, but kudos to him for doing everything that was asked of him in that role.”
