Skip Bayless: LeBron James Has No Clutch Gene

The Orlando Magic beat the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, 119-118. The Lakers losing their eighth game of the season was cause for celebration on the Undisputed set as Skip Bayless reveled in the Lakers dropping all the way to first place in the Western Conference standings. Since it was close, Skip went right at LeBron's very real "clutch gene."

"Your man last night did not exactly help his MVP case without Anthony Davis. He continued to close my long time case that he is just not a closer. I saw no clutch gene from LeBron James in the 4th quarter." — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/RlSljGdfxE

Honestly, I didn't watch the video. I just saw the headline (Thanks Richard!) and had to look up how LeBron finished the game. He went 1-of-2 from the free throw line and 1-of-2 from the field for 4 points. He also had three assists that turned into eight points.

Turns out the box score doesn't mention clutch gene either so... Skip wins this round. Can't wait to see the commentary born from tonight's Clippers - Magic game.
