Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless is one of the most notorious critics of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
In a recent tweet, Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard admitted that he had once confronted Bayless about the unnecessary hatred he was inflicting on James.
Ask him what he said when I asked him “and why did you always talk about Source?” https://t.co/0FFrB7CRSV

James, 35, has been regularly criticized by Bayless over the course of his career. In fact, Bayless recently ripped James off while talking about his place in the conversation of the greatest NBA player of all time.
The four-time MVP is collecting 25.4 points, 10.3 assists and 8.0 boards per game this season.
Lillard, 30, has also been subjected to the wrath of the infamous sports pundit. The All-Star is currently struggling to get the Trail Blazers into the playoffs.
On the season, Lillard averages 29.3 points, 8.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game.
If the Blazers land the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference, they will fight the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.
According to a recent report, the no. 2-seeded Los Angeles Clippers meet the Lakers and Blazers in the offseason.
While Lillard would try to take James into a potential playoff battle, he certainly has a ton of respect for the three-time champion.
