On this morning’s Undisputed with Skip and Shannon, Bayless unleashed on LeBron. Skip criticized his leadership. The controversial commentator believes LeBron has been avoiding his responsibility to answer to the media about the Lakers’ mediocre performance.

“LeBron: you are THE leader of the Los Angeles Lakers. When that loss happens, you have to speak, in part to protect your teammates. LeBron left his team to take shots at the podium that he should’ve taken first.”
