“HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE THE GOAT??? NOT EXACTLY JORDANESQUE”: Skip Bayless fires shot at LeBron James after surprise loss to Indiana Pacers

Skip Bayless has taken yet another shot at LA Lakers superstar LeBron James after their surprise loss to the Indiana Pacers.

The LA Lakers lost 116-115 to the Indiana Pacers after holding a comfortable, 17-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Lakers gave up some awful defensive plays down the stretch, and rookie Andrew Nembhard nailed a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.

After the loss, sports analyst Skip Bayless, a renowned James hater and Michael Jordan superfan, fired another shot at James. On Twitter, Bayless, who often finds ridiculous reasons to criticize the four-time league MVP, ridiculed people for calling James the greatest basketball player of all time.

James could be at fault for the Lakers' latest loss. James left Nembhard open, and Nembhard made the game-winner. James did not have a great offensive showing in the clutch as well. But questioning his legacy on the basis of a single regular season game in November is way over the top.

LeBron James and LA Lakers' nightmare start to the season continues

The LA Lakers (7-12), who had won five of their previous six games, blew yet another lead to lose to the Indiana Pacers 115-116 on Monday. Andrew Nembhard hit a buzzer-beating 3-point shot at the end after LeBron James failed to close him down.

Russell Westbrook had another strong showing as he continues to play well off the bench. However, James did not play his best game and did not even take charge of the offense in the clutch, allowing the game to slip away from the Lakers.

With another loss, all the chatter about the Lakers will start shifting towards the front office executives as they continue to play the waiting game. The Lakers have clear deficiencies on their roster as one of the league's worst offensive teams despite having superstars like James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook.

The Lakers have a logjam in their guard rotations but lack quality wings to slot in besides LeBron James. If the Lakers do not make changes to their subpar roster, their climb back into the playoff spots, from 13th place, might become more and more difficult with every passing game.
