The LA Lakers are currently in a funk with Anthony Davis out of the lineup due to an Achilles tendon injury.
On Monday night the Lakers suffered a brutal overtime loss to the Wizards and unfortunately, LeBron James is partially to blame.
With nine seconds left in a tied game, LeBron missed a crucial free throw that would have likely won the game for the Lakers.

The Lakers went on to lose their third game in a row and fans mocked LeBron for missing the free throw.
As I've long said, LeBron is the least clutch late-game free-throw shooter of any star in NBA history. He just missed another one to win that game.

Dont let it slide that if LeBron makes that free throw at the end of thr 4th the Lakers win. LeBron could have ended it but he didnt
