KD hasn't liked him for a long time(since at least 2012). The first time he trashed Skip was in his OKC days. I don't particular remember what Skip said exactly but it had something to do with him not being happy with Russ taking more shots than KD during that stretch. KD responded by saying that Skip didn't know a thing about Basketball.
Skip was right though…KD just couldn’t/wouldn’t admit it publicly…he also called him “thin skinned” and that turned out to be true as well after his burner account got exposed…Skips never been my favorite…especially those “cold pizza” days…but I really like undisputed..Skip & Shannon just work better then Skip & Stephen A. Did…imho.
Yeah shannon is fucking television gold.. and skip outside of the fake hatred for bron is usually on point. Hes right way more then hes wrong and u can tell because uncle Shay owes skip like 100 bottles of diet mountain dew that they oddly use as currency on the show
As good as he is, Luka has a looooooooooong way to go to fill those shoes tho. And get in better shape. Can you imagene how good he'd be if he took his body as seriously as Lebron does?
He will still be bringing up LeBron when he retires. Whenever there is talk about who the current goat is that's still playing in the NBA, he'll find a way to compare and slander LeBron to whomever it is.
1. That’s not true
2. You’re discrediting an actually very successful career. He was on the beat for decades just like Stephen A.
3. He plays a character- I still cannot believe people take what he says seriously. It’s all a joke.
It might not be real. But it still doesn’t change the fact that they guy would a cheap and frankly shitty way to make his money.
Imagine your place in the world ks literally to tear down other peoples life’s work.
Do you really think Shannon doesn’t know how to play his role on the show? They’re on the clock even when they’re not on set. That’s why they continue their bullshit on Twitter, so people like you can say “but he’s acting this way off air too!!!”
Do you really think Skip doesn’t think LeBron is exceptional???
What? Skip has never said Lebron isn’t great. He calls him the greatest driver in basketball history, the best passer in the NBA currently, and acknowledges how durable he is, and still has him top 10.
They may play up their takes for theatrics but these guys absolutely believe what they are spouting. You give NBA media too much credit. We don’t have the level of professionalism and proper sports breakdown like the NFL does.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, dudes be so sensitive on here lol. But yea if you’ve watched undisputed enough you can catch Skip being in character because sometimes when he says some stuff about Lebron and he has this look on his face where he’s smiling trying to hold back a laugh. Like a “we all know I’m just sht talking now look”
19 years in the NBA and Lebron has never once even said or acknowledged Skip’s name. For all we know, Lebron might not even know Skip exists (obviously he does know though). I’m sure that drives Skip crazy. Skip probably loves being acknowledged by KD like this. If anything it just puts his name out there more and will attract viewers to his show.
remember when dame when at skip in the bubble, skip jumped on the slander dame train and hasn’t jumped off since. Wonder how he’s going to react to this lol
He knows Skip only praises him so as to insult LeBron indirectly. Probably pisses him off that Skip likely doesn’t actually believe the things he says about him.
i'm sure skip LOVES that KD even aknowledges him. LeBron has never done that and he propably never will, even though he has every right to come at him.
my guess is that skip will stay on air until lebron finally reacts to one of his takes or even comes to his show (maybe after bron has retires)
Skip is a fucking clown, you don’t have to be a lakers or Lebron fan to see it. He’s woefully bad at his job so tries to stay relevant by giving wildly unpopular takes
Durant knows he's only being used by Bayless to shit on Bron. It isnt even about actually liking KD, he's just being used as a way to jab at 'bron and KD knows it. Glad he's super upfront about it, I like the way KD has grown since the whole burner account thing.
Blind followers like you are the reason LeBron murals gets vandalized in LA, y'all tryna push this absolute fandom onto us OG Lakers fans, not gonna happen bruh, step back
Lol shut up I don’t care. LeBron has been a Laker for 3 years. You pulling out that tired argument to string me along for more attention.
We watch ppl put leather in metal hoops. So yeah I ruined the fandom. Now what, kid?
Edit: lol you responded this at the mere idea that someone would suggest that your comment was unnecessary. Damn attention is a hell of a drug.
Shut up. Done talking. Muting this thread.
Don’t hurt yourself weirdo. Scream into the void if it keeps you from letting your rage out elsewhere. We should start treating loser behavior like this as a red flag and set up a hotline lol.

Sports media these days are Terrible takes that get a lot of likes>>>>Good takes and not much media recognition
The format doesn’t work well for nuanced takes. Podcasts usually have more time to work out the hot takes.
I stick to Shaq and Chuck for entertaining takes and Lakers film room podcast for actual info. Most everything else is hot take garbage.
Terrible takes gets people commenting and arguing. There’s always some dumbass jackass who agrees with Skip trying to argue online.
he called him a hater on that track him and bron recorded during the lockout too
Skip also used to say Paul George was better than Kd
It was when Skip said that Russ should defer to Durant more and that KD should always take the most/last shots
Well that’s not untrue
It was in 2012 when Durant was double and tripled in clutch moments, and Brodie's athleticism took him to the rim with a hop and a skip
Skip was right though…KD just couldn’t/wouldn’t admit it publicly…he also called him “thin skinned” and that turned out to be true as well after his burner account got exposed…Skips never been my favorite…especially those “cold pizza” days…but I really like undisputed..Skip & Shannon just work better then Skip & Stephen A.

100 cases i am sure.
I can’t believe this guy made a career making millions trolling and hating on LeBron James.
Well Bron is pretty huge host for a parasite to live off.
Brian Windhorst literally made his career off the guy.
This has nothing to do with Bron yet he still manages to slight Lebron. Idk what you call that.
Obsession
Rent free
And when LeBron retires, he can turn his sights on Bronny. Dude has years to go 😂
He already giving Luka the Lebron treatment
As good as he is, Luka has a looooooooooong way to go to fill those shoes tho. And get in better shape. Can you imagene how good he'd be if he took his body as seriously as Lebron does?
He will still be bringing up LeBron when he retires. Whenever there is talk about who the current goat is that's still playing in the NBA, he'll find a way to compare and slander LeBron to whomever it is.
He was a sports reporter before half this sub was born lol.
He was a journalist bro everybody’s a journalist out of college.
1. That’s not true 2. You’re discrediting an actually very successful career. He was on the beat for decades just like Stephen A. 3. He plays a character- I still cannot believe people take what he says seriously. It’s all a joke.
He’s a certified hater… 99% of the time he’s hating on twitter not getting paid
Dawg it’s not real. How do I explain it to you?
It might not be real. But it still doesn’t change the fact that they guy would a cheap and frankly shitty way to make his money. Imagine your place in the world ks literally to tear down other peoples life’s work.
I’m not saying it’s not. I’m saying it’s not a real opinion and I sincerely wonder why anyone takes it seriously.
I don’t think people take his seriously. They do find it annoying just like you would find any other troll.
Then how do you explain Shannon Sharpe saying Skip basically believes almost all of his takes off-air?
Do you really think Shannon doesn’t know how to play his role on the show? They’re on the clock even when they’re not on set. That’s why they continue their bullshit on Twitter, so people like you can say “but he’s acting this way off air too!!!” Do you really think Skip doesn’t think LeBron is exceptional???

We don’t have the level of professionalism and proper sports breakdown like the NFL does.
Real or not it's annoying af, and he deserves criticism for it.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, dudes be so sensitive on here lol. But yea if you’ve watched undisputed enough you can catch Skip being in character because sometimes when he says some stuff about Lebron and he has this look on his face where he’s smiling trying to hold back a laugh. Like a “we all know I’m just sht talking now look”
He was covering the game before LeBron was in highschool LMFAO
Yes this was pretty satisfying
19 years in the NBA and Lebron has never once even said or acknowledged Skip’s name. For all we know, Lebron might not even know Skip exists (obviously he does know though). I’m sure that drives Skip crazy. Skip probably loves being acknowledged by KD like this. If anything it just puts his name out there more and will attract viewers to his show.
He’s 100% trying to bait LeBron into firing back. And it’s gotta drive him batshit crazy that he never, EVER responds haha
I thought last year LeBron finally fired back with the eloquent "suck my ass"
remember when dame when at skip in the bubble, skip jumped on the slander dame train and hasn’t jumped off since. Wonder how he’s going to react to this lol
Difference is KD has way less to prove than Dame
KD just doesn't give a fuck anymore lol
[удалено]
Yes here is the link to the tweet [@KDTrey5](https://twitter.com/kdtrey5/status/1470963127357423623?s=21)
I already know Shay sharpe gonna have them hot L’s waiting for skip tomorrow morning.
As per usual
Eh not really. Skip almost always wins their bets/wagers for Mountain Dew cases.
Like that matters?
Probably not unfortunately. It’s Skips show so they rarely do anything when people call skip out for his crap.
nah sharpe always takes skip's side against outsiders. Why they are the best pair on sports tv.
I think Shannon has KD blocked on twitter lmao
I guess people don't know that LeBron and KD are friends
I didn’t know that
They legit made a song together dude.
Was that the Island Boys jingle?
He only says this to get lebron attention. Skip knows lebron is the best. Hr changes best player each year. It was kawhi when he was healthy
I like KD a little bit more now.
He knows Skip only praises him so as to insult LeBron indirectly. Probably pisses him off that Skip likely doesn’t actually believe the things he says about him.
Skip is a fucking clown. Just goes to show that clowns can be famous and make money.
I don't think there's actually a professional athlete that likes Skip.
People don’t realise KD and Lebron are good friends off the court. When KD was drafted Lebron took him under his wing they used to train together
Lol! Skip cant keep his mouth off with Bron. Bron has nothing to do with KDs performance, yet he still manages to involve Bron.
This shit only makes people want to watch skip. 🤣 now he has more material to feed off
Lmao,skip still gonna ride kd's dick tho...all for that sweet sweet $$$..
all i hear is sharpe saying “skip skip skip” over and over again hahahah
i'm sure skip LOVES that KD even aknowledges him. LeBron has never done that and he propably never will, even though he has every right to come at him. my guess is that skip will stay on air until lebron finally reacts to one of his takes or even comes to his show (maybe after bron has retires)
I doubt Skip cares tbh. This could lead to ratings gold for Undisputed lol
Kinda like that fat boy made a career on ESPN out of being absolutely obsessed with a high schooler, lebron doesn't like that bum either
Lol
lol, this is funny.
I don't think even Skip likes Skip.
Tom Brady hate Skip too lmao
If people like you would stop reacting to every awful take this guy has, maybe he’d go away.
Crazy how skip and Lebron live in La and never ran across each other at social events and whatnot. Would it be on sight?
Skip is a fucking clown, you don’t have to be a lakers or Lebron fan to see it. He’s woefully bad at his job so tries to stay relevant by giving wildly unpopular takes
Becoz KD knows skip is lebron biggest fan but need to make a living off of hating bron and liking his opponent
Like skip more than kd.
I can’t believe how many people watch and talk about this asshole. Stop turning a real sport into pro wrestling. It’s sad.
Not surprising. I don't know of anyone who likes Skip.
why does KD want people to slander Lebron?!?
Stop wasting your time on people like Skip. If you want that kind of shitshow go watch a reality show, wrestling or any kind of "political" content.
Why Is The Title Sentence Capitalized Like A Book Title? It Makes It Very Weird And Unnatural To Read As A Sentence
Durant knows he's only being used by Bayless to shit on Bron. It isnt even about actually liking KD, he's just being used as a way to jab at 'bron and KD knows it. Glad he's super upfront about it, I like the way KD has grown since the whole burner account thing.
Well, he got 23k retweets for this so they all good.
this belongs in a lebron subreddit not a laker one lol
We posting this on the lakers sub just cuz a tweet has "Bron" in it .... zzzzzz
Didn’t ask!
We postin “we posting this?” Comments on a thread we could’ve ignored just cuz we think we’re the main character?
Blind followers like you are the reason LeBron murals gets vandalized in LA, y'all tryna push this absolute fandom onto us OG Lakers fans, not gonna happen bruh, step back
Lol shut up I don’t care. LeBron has been a Laker for 3 years. You pulling out that tired argument to string me along for more attention. We watch ppl put leather in metal hoops. So yeah I ruined the fandom. Now what, kid? Edit: lol you responded this at the mere idea that someone would suggest that your comment was unnecessary. Damn attention is a hell of a drug.
U suck lebron's deformed toes https://atlantablackstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/aDaBC4O.jpg
Shut up. Done talking. Muting this thread. Don’t hurt yourself weirdo. Scream into the void if it keeps you from letting your rage out elsewhere. We should start treating loser behavior like this as a red flag and set up a hotline lol.
Hahahahaha
Loser behavior is simping a grown mans every move / tweet
Skip Bayless ✈ ☁️☁️ ☁️☁️ This sub 🙋♂️
This sub 🎣🙋♂️ Skip Bayless
This is the only thing KD has ever done that I like
