LeBron James sneakily called out by Skip Bayless as he congratulates Giannis Antetokounmpo for good free-throw shooting

The "non-LeBron James Hater" Skip Bayless is throwing shade once again at the "King" on social media. This time, Bayless called out James' free-throws.

Bayless took the time to praise Giannis Antetokounmpo on Twitter for his monstrous performance on Tuesday night. "The Greek Freak" put up 55 points, ten rebounds and seven assists against the Washington Wizards.

However, Bayless just couldn't help himself and found a way to subtly bash James. In his epic outing, Antetokounmpo also shot 15 of 16 free throws, which Bayless duly pointed out.

He told Antetokounmpo to be proud of himself for a spectacular free-throw shooting performance before proceeding to compare the Milwaukee Bucks star with James:

"GIANNIS: I am IMPRESSED. 55/10/7 was terrific - though 50+ games seem to happen every night in the NBA. No, what impressed me most was 15-16 free throws. That you should be proud of. There's a guy in LA ..."

LeBron James may not shoot free throws but can still dominate games

Los Angeles Lakers vs Charlotte Hornets

LeBron James has never been known to be the best free throw shooter even in his younger years. Never in his career has he shot at least 80% from the charity stripe. This season, James is shooting 75.2%.

While free throws can become the deciding factor in a game, he makes up for his shortcomings in different ways. In his last two games, James has scored over 40 points in both trips: 47 points against the Atlanta Hawks and 43 against the Charlotte Hornets.

"King" James turned 38 on December 30. In the NBA, his age makes James a senior citizen. However, the player continues to defy father time and has delivered all season.

James is averaging 29.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. He may not make free throws, but he's still performing like he used to in his first All-Star year in the 2004-05 season.

No matter what Bayless says, he can't deny James' greatness. LeBron James is the only player to average above 20 points per game in their 20th season. Next on the list is the late Kobe Bryant, who averaged 17.6 points in year 20.

As on January 3, James is 484 points away from breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time points record. If he continues at his current rate, LBJ could break the record in 18 games.

One may never see a player like "King" James again, so it's better to appreciate his greatness when he's still in action.
