LeBron James' Top Critic Gives Lakers Star Harsh New Nickname After USA-Germany

FOX Sports commentator Skip Bayless delivered a very on-brand review of LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers star took over to help Team USA beat Germany in their Olympic tune-up.

For the second exhibition game in a row, Team USA found themselves in trouble as Germany made life hard for them during Monday's showdown. But like what he did against South Sudan--which the Americans won by just one point--James took over and made sure USA escaped with the W, 80-76.

LeBron finished the game with 20 points along with six rebounds and four assists. Making things even better, he actually scored Team USA's final 11 points to pull away from Germany.

Despite that, though, Skip Bayless still found a way to criticize the Lakers forward. After the contest, the renowned LeBron critic called James someone who is great only in practice games.

"LeBron, King of the Practice Games," Bayless wrote.

It's definitely not surprising coming from Skip Bayless, but no one can deny that it reeks of hater energy. After all, LeBron James has done nothing but prove that he's determined to win with Team USA and is ready to do whatever it takes to bag gold in the Olympics.

Besides, from the looks of it, there's nothing that LeBron James can do to change Bayless' opinion of him.
