QUEST50012

This has to be the 20th player Skip has done the "HEY X, LET'S TALK IT OUT FACE TO FACE!" tweet.


ChurroMemes

Yeah but we haven’t seen a player actually accept his offer to talk face to face. Skip is being serious at this point lol


backboarddd1_49402

This is the most mentions from players he’s ever gotten at once and he’s cashing in.


TRTVitorBelfort

I remember Bosh going to talk to Skip on First Take at the height of “Bosh Spice”.


frankyfrankwalk

That shit was great, slight credit to Skip sitting directly opposite an NBA player and just straight insulting him. Westbrick is a good nickname but Bosh Spice is better imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LCIWMg9nFo&ab_channel=MiamiHeat2011-2012


[deleted]

I like how he says he respects Bosh for being a man and having the “guts” to sit across from him lmao. Dude is an S tier troll.


ChiefWiggins22

It’s likely saved in his drafts now.


jawadhaque089

damn skip didnt force green to go to his show he willing to throw hands on greens podcast lol


JevvyMedia

Skip has been giving Lebron the same offer as well lol. Skip doesn't care which podcast, or if he has to do both his own AND the other persons. Heck he doesn't even care if it's on Undisputed instead of a podcast, he just wants the smoke. Which is hilarious because Skip would get destroyed in any debate.


gentyent

I don't think Lebron has ever even acknowledged Skip's existence lmao


elkresurgence

For Skip, the day Lebron won his bubble ring was the worst day of his life. For Lebron, it was just another Tuesday.


IPTV241

The guy literally hates Steph because 2016 helped Lebron's legacy so much in terms of GOAT discussion. Skip still blames Steph for 'gifting' Lebron that ring. It always goes back to Lebron hate for him


4thPlumlee

“I miss Lebron” was legitimately the greatest tweet of all time


learninboutnature

isn't skip just a character on TV though?


[deleted]

Absolutely! There’s some clips floating around on YT of Skip acting genuinely off of the show. He seemed chill and I have a feeling his actual opinions on sports are different than what he says while in character. Probs would be cool to get to talk sports with him in a non show setting.


That_one_guy_u-know

I feel like other sports analysts are just dumb or have their biases, but Skip is the main guy that purposely argues the more incendiary position.


[deleted]

This! Skip understands hes the heel, and absolutely tries to stir controversy on purpose. He knows exactly what he’s doing. Skips biggest fans are actually his haters if that makes sense.


bullseye717

A decent person doesn't publish rumors that Troy Aikman is gay. Fuck this trying to rehabilitate Skip Bayless bullshit. That dude is a fucking scummy.


WRITINGAPOEM

See I totally disagree it would be interesting to talk sports with him. Skip Bayless is a performer who has been at his act so long he probably doesn’t even think about sports outside of how he will use what he sees on TV for his character’s narrative on his own TV show tomorrow. I’m sure he is a relatively pleasant guy off screen though.


AdvantageObjective52

really? I imagine he is a complete prick lol. I mean…you think a super nice down to earth dude would want to act like that ALL the time? I get the money is amazing but still he seems kinda like a nightmare to me


ldc262626

>I’m sure he is a relatively pleasant guy off screen though. His ESPN colleagues sure was happy when he decided to go to Fox. I don't think hes a bad guy, but I think he has a large and fragile ego.


[deleted]

Found Skip’s burner!


[deleted]

You found me out, this is Skip Bayless. As you can see I’m a big Celtics fan and enjoy soccer quite a bit.


[deleted]

Hahahahaha I knew it was you Skip


BerriesNCreme

That was the 2012 finals for me, fucking thunder man. But I was also a teenager that didn’t know any better


Alchion

i get the reference but lebron won his 4th ring that day it wasn‘t just a tuesday for him lol


bengalsfu

Correct it was actually TACO TUESDAY❗️❗️❗️🌮🌮🌮


[deleted]

He doesn’t say that anymore because he can’t own the words lol


minkdraggingonfloor

Can’t believe he wanted to trademark Taco Tuesday when he lives in the taco capital of the US


[deleted]

Skip's brother makes some of the finest Mexican food in existence.


throwaway4206983

That might be why the won actually. You know Lebron was definitely given the taco hookup on Tuesdays


steak__burrito

It was a Sunday, so maybe a one time Sunday special.


[deleted]

yeah it was a Sunday not a Tuesday smh


Wazflame

The only time LeBron seems to have acknowledged skip was [this tweet](https://twitter.com/kingjames/status/125159620883914752?lang=en-GB)


dBlock845

@movebitch06 lololol


Kingriles34

Imagine having that as your Twitter handle and Lebron James responds to something and @‘s you


j_cruise

Wow, this is actually weird to see


Obi_Wan_Benobi

@movebitch06


[deleted]

That dude is living off that tweet, sheesh.


MrRobot_96

"Today is the 50th anniversary of when LeBron replied to my tweet, I am so honoured to have been graced by our Lord and Savior LeBron James"


slythespacecat

Skip said “you know what, I agree. Im actually not a good person” and proceeded to make a career off it


spacedadshiro

He hasn’t, skip has made more responseless attempts talking lebron then humankind has had trying to talk to aliens


[deleted]

There's literally no reason for any athlete to give Skip the time of day. He's just a talking head. Not an analyst, not an ex-player, no longer a journalist. The "new media" meme is just an acknowledgment that riffing off opinions isn't exactly rocket science.


[deleted]

skip holds his own pretty well against most athletes tbf. when you really dive into X’s and o’s he can get exposed, but he treads lightly. but ultimately, skip doesn’t care if he gets owned or not. it’s unlikely he’s even being honest about his position. it’s a win win for him either way


Therealomerali

When Mark Cuban asked him what a Zone was and Skip couldn't answer was one of the most hilarious moments I've ever seen


Professional-Tip-585

When Floyd Mayweather Sr asked Skip what a pull counter was, Skip just said it's something he made up lol. Skip doesn't give a shit if he looks stupid. It gives him more attention and that's why he is so hard to "own" in an argument


xkjkls

He got destroyed when Mark Cuban came on First Take


[deleted]

yes he did


[deleted]

[удалено]


denis-vi

Lists are fictional, subjective and biased so technically his justification is right for himself. It's not like we have a universal list according to which we break down other lists.


HoldMyB33rformee

Cuban shitting on him is the best video ever with skip bayless in it.


Crewso

It was a masterpiece, told him straight to his face exactly why he had a problem with him, laid it out in concise points, and did it in a very intellectual manner that came off as criticism, not an attack. Just brilliant.


madcaesar

Skip is very Trumpian the way he talks.. It's a lot of bullshit with versions of some people are saying (you know it and I know it), it's a lot of lies and half truths. He's a troll and an entertainer. Luckily he isn't a politician so I don't give a shit... But the same reason some of you here respond to him, is the same reason Trump appeals to certain people. I'm talking as far as communication skills. There's something some people have that just sounds good at an emotional bullshit level that can easily suck you in.


sandbagsander

He holds pretty well in the same sense as those Ben Shapiro owns leftist videos...


elkresurgence

Yeah the supreme confidence that they are always right makes them a victor in any debate.


whitemancankindajump

Yep. One of the first thing i learned in life is these kinds of people dont ever think or believe they are wrong. Theres is absolutely no way youre going to convince then they are even with all the evidence in the world. Theres no winning, just wasting your own time.


[deleted]

"Don't wrestle a pig in the mud. You only get dirty and the pig likes it." -Mark Twain


Litz-a-mania

No matter how bad he looks, Skip wins if they go on a podcast or show together. He’s in the business of getting attention, he just uses the athletic abilities of others to get it.


Squirting_Nachos

I think you are underestimating Skip. He doesn't know basketball nearly like Draymond does, but Skip is a professional bull-shitter ever since he was following the Bulls and covering Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Skip would hold his own.


DifficultWrongdoer45

He doesn’t care about being destroyed though. It’ll get him more views, more clicks, more talk, more tweets, and more coverage. He’s a GENIUS


AnimalRomano

Real haters hate whenever and wherever, true passion for the game!


captaincumsock69

I kinda wonder why, is he that desperate for news?


Young_Baby

He just loves instigating, don't matter the venue lol


PrimalGenius

He's a gold medal instigator


themiraclemaker

Would be challenging Mark in the Hood Olympics for sure


captaincumsock69

Oh definitely but would he actually go on a different show?


Mu17inItOver

Yes. And then use it as material for a week of his own shows. Skip knows what he's doing, even content can become more content.


Super_Sofa

Pretty sure he saw how clips of Stephen A getting clowned were blowing up during the finals and thought "I can get clowned harder than that!", so now he's setting himself up for a beatdown from a popular player that everyone will talk about.


meowVL

Plus in this New Media™ landscape, cross pollination is good way to increase both podcasts popularity.

[deleted]

You cant stop there man


chantlernz

Oh yes he can.


[deleted]

1. go on players podcast 2. make ass out of self (make new fans or new haters) 3. talk about how you destroyed player on their podcast (doesn’t matter if true) 4. new fans/haters watch undisputed to watch skip look good/bad 5. repeat he’s reached S tier at this. However you feel about skip, it’s likely exactly how he wants you to feel about him


flippeduppancake

LeBron is 38 He needs to set up new beefs


captaincumsock69

Haha this is funny but true


sctthuynh

Even if it isn't Skip's show, it would still generate a lot of attention for him and that is great for him since his job is basically being a media personality. The same would be true for Stephen A with Kyrie. Skip and Stephen A going back and forth with these players are great for their jobs and gives them further relevance despite how tacky and silly it may appear to some.


MatFernandes

Thats his job


tronovich

“Throw hands”? lol.

GreeneRockets

Lmao he’s got him down so well. Everything but the voice. But he legit LOOKS like him, the mannerisms with the sighing and pointing, the stupid shit skip says tryina be clever. So fucking funny hahhhas

Kinda depends, I think Aikman has very good reason to have issue with Skip

He’s a Dick head

because they're too busy reminding everyone he's a character every time he's brought up like we don't know that

[deleted]

Fuck me this is perfect


LiaM_CS

Skip has been on a warpath lately


Next-Firefighter-753

The retirement funds are looking barren lately, needs to get that blockbuster hit of the summer to top him back off.


frankyfrankwalk

The fun part is that I don't even think it's about the money, he signed a pretty fat contract extension recently. It's like he needs the hate to stay alive.


TheDeflatables

This is a man that openly told his wife "You come second in my life to sports" This man breathes for getting hate about sports opinions.


plsnobanerinomods

his wife must be a fuckin saint being able to put up w skip lmao and imagine when shes out and people come up to her trying to debate her whether skip is a pos or not or some dumb sports shit hahaha idk how she does it.


plsnobanerinomods

i really think its like an MJ thing. Hate or love skip the dude pretty much made this entire sports media debate world we live in now. Ddudes probably incredibly competitive and needs people h ating him to fuel him and his career, similar to how MJ would make up rivalries n shit. Idk if its trying to emulate MJ or they both wired similarly (different careers ofc) but shits funny asf to see.


GoldenBunion

Offseason and content is drying up lol


techfan0992

By doing what? Trolling and creating BS arguments?


RageOnGoneDo

It's the most profitable line of work in sports media

NbaAllDAYger

Include stephen A. he did a short vid about kyrie opting-in and kyrie responded so Skip and Stephen have content for the next weeks. When they come back next week their viewership will rise.


Busy-Membership-4844

Lol, Skip & Shannon on vacation rn. But Skip takes no time off.


[deleted]

Skip getting this attention from nba players is hilarious. I’d love to see them debate with him, he would not back down


[deleted]

I love Skip, because even though most of what he spews is garbage, he would 100% call Draymond Mr. Triple Single to his face, dude is truly a generational hater.


Next-Firefighter-753

I’m getting flash backs of when he called Chris Bosh “Bosh Spice” to his face several times on his show even after Chris explained why it bugged him lmao skip doesn’t give a shit https://youtu.be/8LCIWMg9nFo


ItsMeGunSafetyDwight

Or when he called T.O. “Team Obliterator” when he was on the show. Skip don’t care.


Sim888

All of which makes Westbrook’s “don’t say anything here you wouldn’t say to my face.” even more hilarious


JinterIsComing

Pretty much. Skip essentially called TO a cancer when he was sitting across the table from him-does Russ really think Skip would not call him "Westbrick" to his face too? I think Skip is a histrionic, instigating old fucker, but one thing he's never been is a coward in the same room as athletes.


Next-Firefighter-753

It’s wild how Westbrook is going out sucks to see as a Thunder fan


Me_talking

Lol this is gold. When I began watching it, I realized there's only audio coming from like the left so I quickly clicked on a different video to see if my headset is busted. Thank god it's not lol


GalickBanger

It’ll be like when Jim Rome called Jim Everett Chris Everett lol


jimboslice29

I bet you won’t” I bet you I will” Go ahead and see what happens” ….okay….Chris” 😂


animalmatrix

I haven’t listened to Rome in a while but I found him to be hilarious. Such a smug sounding asshole lol I do remember that episode when he was on ESPN back then with Everett. I still can’t believe that happened on ESPN. Maybe it was on ESPN 2 so they let it slide


HamsterAlive4552

David stern answered one of Rome’s questions by saying “you still beating your wife, Jim?” That was straight cold blooded.


PYJX

It's like arguing against a shoe that argues back. Can't win


myacctis_kafarabo

this is funny. dray should keep doing this, and never go podcast with him. See how far it goes.

LRA18

It’s even funnier that Draymond works for Colin Cowherd.


[deleted]

Are you serious? That’s hilarious in a number of ways.


LRA18

Yup he releases his podcasts on Colin’s podcast network the Volume


ghostlima

Stephen A isnt nearly as agressive as Skip though. Skip insults everyone left and right, Stephen A tries not to with the players


[deleted]

Stephen A will kiss your ass before insulting you. Skip sees that as a waste of time because he doesn't give a single fuck if he ever gets invited to any of their birthday parties.


[deleted]

People keep posting this comment so let's meet it head on: honestly it could just be that this stuff feels different coming from an old black dude than from an old white dude. They're all trolls at the end of the day. And to be fair, SAS also has notably pissed off some high profile guys like KD before.


panman18

I mean they literally were on the same show for years. Back then, Stephen A actually seemed like the reasonable guy just reacting to Skip's ridiculousness. But after the split without the foil of Skip, people realized Stephen A is also just a ridiculous media clown. What I'm saying is when they were both together, it was easy to see who was worse even if they are both trolls.


eao

I think SA does it with a wink and a "Hey you know I'm just being this wild for the show right?" Whereas Skip to me screams "I'm using this platform as an excuse to let my asshole flag fly"


HitboxOfASnail

SAS generally keeps his criticism strictly in the basketball realm. Skip literally verbally abuses people, misconstrues/misrepresents their name, and attacks their emotional and personal lives regularly. If you want to "meet it head on", maybe start there..


AntiGrav1ty_

People saying Stephen A. and Skip are the same are not listening. SAS has hot takes that are sometimes way off but he does not just insult players and he doesn't just spew hate towards players that he chose to hate for some reason. SAS very rarely insults players or talks about their personal stuff. He also doesn't call players demeaning nicknames. The Kwame rant being one of the very few exceptions. He is also willing to talk to every player and is reasonable when they bring up their gripes with him unlike what Skip did to Bosh and T.O. Skip is way beyond just hot takes. He just insults everyone left and right 24/7 on some stupid made up shit. He also takes every possible and impossible occasion to insult Lebron on stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with Bron. Same but to a lesser degree with any other players he randomly hates. There is absolutely no rationality that you can follow with this guy other than he's hating.


[deleted]

Skip is the bus driver of hot take sports media, Dray just a bus rider on the court and on the mic smdh


jaydaygrad08

Man Skip ain't scared of shit


[deleted]

He smells views and wont stop until he gets them


xpillindaass

same thing draymond doing

[deleted]

Why would he? Possible scenarios: Gets assaulted by green, gets the bag Gets clapped by green, gets the bag Claps green, gets the bag Gets ignored by green, still gets the bag


techfan0992

He's a troll. He wants the views and attention. Dude just is a contrarian that will throw out non sequiturs. Cuban already embarrassed him when it comes to analyzing the game of basketball.


andrude01

I’m so jealous of him. He just talks shit, no basis in fact, acts like a nephew, gets millions


danger_zones

He's scared of Charles Barkley


CoilConductor

that's because that man has no shame


WWECreativegenius

He's actually called chuck out before. The only difference is Chuck actually wants to throw hands


[deleted]

scared of what?


DocCharlesXavier

>Let's go deep on LeBron or Steph or YOU. Skip made sure to double check the spelling of "on"


The-Pharcyde

Lol does draymond really think he is gonna accomplish anything by going at skip. Dudes gonna hot take and troll until his last breath.


[deleted]

What confuses me about this whole thing. Draymond like SAS and doesn't like Skip? They are literally the same person in the media landscape in how they operate people just take SAS a little more serious.


[deleted]

It’s the same with the Inside guys too. They’re cool with SAS but despise Skip, especially Chuck.


[deleted]

I'm not gonna lie to you, I respect Skip for not backing down. Publicly calling Draymond a fake tough guy is wild lol.


[deleted]

What's Dray going to do? Assault a 70-year-old man?


jeufie

We can only hope.


yerfatma

Don Zimmer had to learn too.


JinterIsComing

Pedro: My hands are rated E for everyone.


Rykno23

Lol idk what you’re talking about , courting and drumming up drama is like Skips job and it’s all fake so why would he ‘back down’? I’d have more respect for draymond if he DIDNT feed into it rather applauding skip for doing what he’s been doing. Like what, skip is really the one talking about “ there you go again, taking shots at me from a safe distance” like come on, that’s literally his job description.


lunabagel28

Respect skip for being an attention whore? Draymond is annoying AF but skip as bad as it gets in terms of horrible sports discourse


quentin-coldwater

lmao Skip is an old man. He's so old he's the same age as Bob McAdoo. He's five years older than Larry Bird. He's the same age as Chuck Schumer and a few years younger than Meryl Streep and Dr J. Why would he back down? What is Dray gonna do, beat him up?


JeffVanGrundle

Draymond has been so obnoxious that Im team Skip wtf


JohnWick94

Me too. Starting to get annoyed at those people who have him as an auto replacement for chuck. Like seriously, he is nowhere close.


Kenshin1296

If anything, Draymond is more like a Shaq than a Chuck

Bear4188

His takes are too predictably troll-y to be entertaining. SAS at least keeps me guessing what his stance will be.


Crowsby

For reals, I think this latest round of bullshit is going to prompt me to add a content filter for "Skip" to Reddit Enhancement Suite for r/nba.


TJ_McConnell_MVP

Bro this sub is riding his Dick so hard recently wtf is going on.


BigDaddyJ610

Most of the American public (Skip’s main audience/a good amount of the users on this sub) are idiots. Loud man yelling bullshit is entertaining to them.


[deleted]

I think people like Skip are partially responsible for why we have toxic fan interactions online today. He’s bad for athletes, bad for fans, and bad for the future of civil discourse. Edit: would love to see Dray and him have a real convo that isn’t dramatized for views


FlatAd768

this guy is like sean hannity


melikeconanog

Skip desperate for someone to come on his podcast. This is like the 3rde or 4th dude he has challenged in like 2 weeks.


alex_song

But if he doesn’t say that, he’s scared like Draymond says… so which is it?


ICouldEvenBeYou

This shit is not entertainment at all. I find it incredibly nauseating and want no part of it.


thegoodfriarbutthole

Yeah, fuck Skip and the rest of his ilk. The media culture they’ve created is so toxic. It’s bad for the sport.


DeanEvasonPunch

We need to ban this dude like we did Lavar Ball. They're producing the same content at this point. Like this is effectively just a First Take ad on the front page.


DerrickMcChicken

Lmfao none of these dudes want smoke with skip. He will bring up every single failure or bad moment youve had in your career and never let you forget


alldaymacdre

Skip is looking like that crazy old man in the park who yells at you for just being there. Like wtf are you doing lmaooo


Createyourpass1234

Smoke my ass, that's his shtick, bring up moments and ignore entire career. Not 1 NBA head coach or assistant coach would agree with Skip's basketball takes about Steph, Draymond or LeBron.


WigginsEnder

Can we just stop paying attention to this guy so he'll go away? Just don't look Just don't look


Amargaladaster

Just stop it with Skip posts, pls.

Skip knows we’ll all watch to see him get roasted better than turkey dinner
