Skip Bayless: LeBron Shoots Fadeaways to Run Away From Free Throws

Skip Bayless painted another masterpiece on Monday morning. Following a Los Angeles Lakers win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday, in which LeBron James hit the go-ahead basket with 30.4 seconds remaining, Skip Bayless made the case that LeBron James was not "clutch." And even better than that, he criticized the type of shot taken by LeBron, claiming that it was a metaphor for being afraid to take a big shot.

"My man LeShannon Sharpe had the audacity to say that LeBron got revenge after getting dunked on. How did he get revenge? LeBron literally and figuratively faded away from the free throw line. He ran backwards from the FT line." — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/LfJeAJBovt

Andy Kaufman would find Skip's commitment to this bit impressive. Criticizing a made basket because it is a fadeaway. The exact shot that became Michael Jordan's signature. What exactly was Jordan running from? We may never know.
