Skip Bayless' New Nickname For LeBron James Goes Viral After Stellar Team USA Performance

USA Basketball took the court in London to play its final Olympic tune up game against Germany on Monday.

LeBron James, the oldest player in Team USA men's basketball history, led the way for the United States. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar took over in the fourth quarter, dropping 11 of his 20 points in the final period and leading his team to a 92-88 win.

James looked fantastic in this exhibition game — but Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless still found a way to hate on The King.

Bayless took to social media to give LeBron a new nickname.

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

Bayless was likely referring to the fact that LeBron and the Lakers won the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament this past season. James won the first ever In-Season Tournament MVP trophy, averaging 26.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game.

LeBron will look to prove Bayless wrong when he and his USA Basketball squad take the court in Paris later this month.

On Monday morning, LeBron was announced as the first men's basketball player in Team USA history to serve as the nation's flag bearer at Friday's Opening Ceremony.
