Skip Bayless is one of LeBron James’ biggest critics, so when the Los Angeles Lakers icon broke Karl Malone’s record to become the second-leading scorer of all time, the expectations were that he would find a way to criticize him.

Malik Monk has been one of the few bright spots for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Simply put, the 24-year-old has been one of the best players on the roster for LA this year, which clearly says a lot about a team that has a handful of future Hall of Famers in the lineup. […]
