Skip Bayless Uses Lakers’ Newest Signing to Once Again Troll LeBron James

Bayless found an ample opportunity to criticize the four-time NBA champion.

LeBron James has demonstrated his talent and brilliance in the NBA for two decades.

While the four-time champion has solidified himself as one of the greatest of all time, Skip Bayless will always be James’s biggest critic. Shortly after the Lakers signed Christian Wood as the franchise’s newest acquisition, the host of Fox Sports’s Undisputed used the opportunity to take a jab at league’s all-time leading scorer.

“Congrats to Rob Pelinka for signing Christian Wood, who averaged 17&7 last yr and has shot 38% from 3 over last 4 yrs. Now if the Lakers can just get the NBA's all-time leading scorer to score in 4th quarters of playoff games ... ,” Bayless tweeted early Wednesday morning.

As the Bayless-James shenanigans continue, Los Angeles landed a big man who could provide a huge impact on the hardwood. Wood, who signed a two-year deal with Los Angeles, will now play alongside James and Anthony Davis in the upcoming season.

While his “dream” was to always play in the Lakers’ organization, it will be interesting to see how his presence impacts the play of James, who will enter his 21st NBA season in October.
