"I'd still take Wade, Harden, Lebron, Westbrook, Kobe over Kevin Durant"-Skip Bayless

[Olacinco]

He obviously wasn't very impressed with KD's performance last week LMAO

:roll:

[the mesiah]

It's too bad Kd has too much class , but I would like to see durant "Sherman/jalen rose" skip Bayless just one time on first take and look at how uncomfortable Stephen A would look ..

[GOBB]

His basis for Durant not being the leading MVP candidate was his performance vs Memphis last postseason. He's such a tool and people feel sorry for this dbag because Sherman shitted on him on national tv? Puhhhhhlease.

Didn't Durant diss Skip? Would make sense why Skip finds moronic ways to bash dude without valid reason.

[Inferno]

:biggums:

[KG215]

You'd think there'd be some line ESPN wouldn't let him cross with his trolling. It's obvious he just says the most outlandish things possible for ratings and whatnot, but there should be some sort of line he shouldn't be allowed to cross.

While none of those make sense other than LeBron, I'd love to hear his reasoning as to why he'd take Harden over KD. Durant has beaten and outplayed Harden twice in the last month since Westbrook's injury.

[chazzy]

His basis for Durant not being the leading MVP candidate was his performance vs Memphis last postseason.
So I guess Wade's performance in the entire playoffs and Harden's performance against OKC just gets brushed under the rug? Not to mention Westbrook and Kobe not even playing in the playoffs. Stupid Skip :oldlol:

[KyrieTheFuture]

Can we outlaw posting anything from Skip here now? Why do people take anything he says seriously?

Durant use to be his favorite player until he choked four straight games away vs the Grizzlies. Now he wont give him any credit. :facepalm

No he mad because Durant dissed him last year.

[KG215]

Durant's averaging 36-7-6-2-1 on 51/36/88 shooting in 13 games since Westbrook's injury.

Has anyone not mentioned this to Skip, yet?

[navy]

Well, except Durant didn't choke four straight games. He was great in the first two games, really good in the third, and pretty bad in the last two.

Nah, he was pretty bad in the fourth quarter in the last four games. Missing shots, game winners and free throws. Skip never forgave him.

He still had a decent series though. But you know how it is, if you dont win when it counts you choked.

People are so butthurt what he says about Durant, but he did the same thing to Lebron in 2011. Just replace Wade with Westbrook and Lebron with Durant. Only that he's not butthurt over Durant for the Finals, he's butthurt because KD called him out.

Doesnt matter. He choked liked three fourth quarters already this season(In Skip's eyes) Skip doesnt care until he wins a championship.

[BuffaloBill]

Skip is super retarded. This guy is 25 years old

[russwest0]

He said Damian Lillard was better than Durant :lol :lol :lol

[GOBB]

Skip said he would take all those players over Durant in the 4th quarter. That was apart of his counter to SAS who said Durant right now is leading the MVP race in his book. Skip said Durant is the best scorer in the NBA by far, but 4th quarter he would take those players and a handful more over Durant in the 4th. Then he goes back to last postseason performance without Westbrook whom Skip feels makes Durant much better than he truly is.

[GOBB]

Yup.

[guy]

Dude is so salty :oldlol: He was all over Durant until Durant said he didn't know what he was talking about. He's like a bitter ex-girlfriend that's now ****ing all of Durant's enemies and best friends out of spite :oldlol:

Except that isnt when he quit on durant. It was the Memphis series.

[guy]

Except that isnt when he quit on durant. It was the Memphis series.

Because up until that point, Skip didn't really have any ammo against him. He looks for the first terrible performance of a player he has an agenda against and sticks to it, and completely ignores the players he doesn't have an agenda against and/or makes excuses. In Durant's case it was the Memphis series. Every time Wade plays badly, Skip just attributes it to injury. He ignores that Harden hasn't done shit in the playoffs as the lead guy and on the biggest stage of his career he was absolutely terrible. All the criticisms of Westbrook shooting too much and having terrible shooting nights has went out the door in support of his agenda against Durant. He stops talking badly about Lebron cause he really has nothing to say anymore (I actually commend him for this). And I don't know how the hell he can take Kobe anymore, I haven't really heard him say anything positive about him lately.

[215Philly]

When he was saying these things about Lebron, you people thought he was soo smart and credible. I remember during the 2012 season, he said Lebron was the 4th best player behind Durant,Kobe, and MELO :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[guy]

He does actually have good points at times though. Some of it is over the top like what you said, and his agenda gets the best of him. But he wasn't always wrong about Lebron. Lebron didn't always have the ruthlessness and the heart, which his huge meltdowns against Boston and Dallas prove.

[GOBB]

Thats the thing his over the top, ridiculous comments overshadow his valid and spot on points which to me is unfortunate. But I guess he wouldn't be Skip Bayless without this. Much like SAS wouldn't be SAS without yelling like Kevin Hart. :lol

But he really pushes an agenda that totally screws what he says afterwards. He blamed Wes Welker for the loss yesterday then said Welker took Talib knees out. When the video shown to him ON TV showed otherwise. Tim Hasselbeck, SAS, host were like that isnt the case and Skip said no he's going for Talib knees. All because he dislikes Welker. Ridiculous

LOL skip :roll: he basicaslly goes against any trend to earn his money, hes too funny...he had real insight with lebrons choking problems but it has been downhill since then

[magic chiongson]

how bout pippen vs durant? :D

[ABfor3]

Why are you guys mad, Harden is the better player than Durant by a mile.






come on, im just trolling like Skip Bayless always does.

[YouGotServed]

Durant is better than Harden but not by much. I'd still take Harden in the 4th quarter.

[LeGOAT]

Skip was pretty much a Durant stan until Durant went at him for hating on Westbrook. Skip is just a mad little girl

Except Harden isnt a proven fourth quarter playoff performer either.

[russwest0]

That show is garbage the few times I've seen it.

The worst part is, Skip and Stephen A feel the need to do like a 10 minute eulogy before they even get to whatever it is they are trying to say. And whatever the main point ends up being is stupid as hell.

It just reflects poorly on ESPN who thump their chest as the worldwide leader in sports coverage.

[Heavincent]

You guys know he's not actually serious, right? He's obviously under orders from ESPN to troll and say outlandish things.

[SpecialQue]

Damn, Bayless is suffering from a broken heart. :(

[GOBB]

Bill B also said Welker took out Talib on purpose :no:

Difference with going after a player knees and taking someone out. You can argue Welker did that but after replay it appears it was just an illegal pick where they collided. You cant argue Welker went for the knees. Smarten up, you give the 215 people a bad name.

He took him out on purpose, period. Also saying I give 215 people a bad name is like saying Sherman gives Black people a bad name. Watch what you say :facepalm

[stevieming]

I don't think even Harden would take himself above KD......

No he didn't. Welker weighs less, wore a Don Bebee helmet and even pulled up before impact. Illegal screen, did not take him out on purpose. You give 215 a bad name and set us back a good 1301 years.

[Boarder Patrol]

Skip warrants endless :biggums:

To take a word from Sherman, KD is better at life than Bayless.

Illegal screen no flag :banana: We'll just have to agree/disagree. You just set us back 50,239 years :facepalm

[SexSymbol]

I kinda agree with him in that sense that KD isn't the leader he COULD be.
And he hasn't proven anything yet, you don't prove yourself in the reg. season, you prove yourself in the play-offs. As long as KD doesn't shake off his 2012 performance with a dominating one in these PO, I don't think he'll have a case for the best in league.
Lillard>him claim is outlandish, that's just skip overreacting.
Overall, he's a good analyst, been in the business for way too long. People try to act like everybody wasn't agreeing with him after 2011. Every one of you was on his side. It's just that when LeBron won, he suddenly turned into the most stupid person alive in every sport's fan's eyes. And he actually gives LeBron a lot of credit these days.
What people don't understand, is that Skip is a product of the ring generation, those guys only cared about PO and the rings, that's what made you a legend and to certain point, still does today, as long as we have these old-school guys in the media. You can't hate all you want on Skip, he says a few stupid things here and there like every analyst, ESPECIALLY on ESPN, but he's a smart guy with great knowledge of psychology of players (which is the most important factor at professional level) and physical condition. He maybe lacks some information about the x and o's, but that's to be expected, stephen a smith doesn't know shit about it, and he gets praised all the time, obviously because he's more politically correct.

TL;DR. There's a small point if you look into the context of what he says, and he gets demolished by these fans daily, probably undeservingly

[INDI]

I wonder if he will still take Batum over lebron also

Skip Bayless is a troll. He takes an aspect of something that is true and blows it completely out of proportion. He'll ride it out no matter what.

Skip is still hurt from KD burning him on twitter, Skip was his biggest supporter before that, so it obviously affected him, I'm sure in his mind he doesn't actually believe this.

Skip's a smart man, he goes over the top from time to time, but in general he has good knowledge of the game, specially the psychological side of it and history of it, maybe not so much on x's and o's, but nobody of ESPN's analysts do.

They can sit in a comfy chair and say things while guys like Durant and LeBron are in the gym working tirelessly 24/7 and then performing at the highest level on the court. Meanwhile, Skip can just go in, work an hour where he basically just says, "so and so ain't impressing me" then go live the rest of his troll life without working hard at all. It's incredibly pathetic.

Durant came out and defended his brother in war, you know, the guy that shows up to every single practice and game and plays his heart out. Yah, he was defending that guy against someone who bashed him relentlessly.

You must have a problem with critics in general then. Who is he to say those things if he can't cook a meal to save his life? Who is he to say those things if he never even directed a short. Who is he to say those things if he never wrote a short story. Blah blah blah. Dude gets paid to talk out of his ass about a sport.

You don't think KD sees him bashing Westbrook and LeBron relentlessly? It's cool to see Skip say crazy shit when you're a fan... but when you're actually out there and know the makeup of those guys it's pretty hard to contain yourself when asked a question about said basher.

I think everything Skip says about Westbrook is on point so you're barking up the wrong tree, buddy.

Durant did the right thing in in the sense that he stood by his friend and teammate, but that doesn't make it cool to bash some guy who is constantly heaping praise over you.

What exactly have they done in terms of work that's really noteworthy? While I admire journalism as a profession, I hardly view this as legitimate journalism. Guys like Skip and Stephen A Smith are sensationalists and sometimes down right scandalous "journalists." What have they done that has shown they've improved at their job? Have they've gotten better at analysis? Gotten better at predicting outcomes? No, they're just professional trolls that get to yell all day without any sort of repercussion when they're wrong or incorrect. Outside of Meteorology, I haven't seen any other professional that gets to be as wrong as they do.

I'm supposed to respect them because they have to write a report at the game ends? As in, respect someone to do their job? Any more respect than anyone else who has to perform in their job? I respect people who gets results that lead to the advancement of their profession. Respectable advancement. Not just grabbing people's attention by trolling.

Skip's entire gimmick is hyperbole. You need to understand that. He does shit for attention, but a lot of the shit he says, while seemingly crazy, have more truths to them than most would like to admit. He's a character.

KD doesn't have time to analyse that. He sees him bashing his friend and calls the guy an idiot who doesn't know hoops. Skip's 'gimmick' makes him look idiotic.

What's the issue again? KD should be praising him even though he has proved himself to be a sensitive flip flopping attention seeking clown?

:rolleyes:

What exactly have they done in terms of work that's really noteworthy? While I admire journalism as a profession, I hardly view this as legitimate journalism. Guys like Skip and Stephen A Smith are sensationalists and sometimes down right scandalous "journalists." What have they done that has shown they've improved at their job? Have they've gotten better at analysis? Gotten better at predicting outcomes? No, they're just professional trolls that get to yell all day without any sort of repercussion when they're wrong or incorrect. Outside of Meteorology, I haven't seen any other professional that gets to be as wrong as they do.

I'm supposed to respect them because they have to write a report at the game ends? As in, respect someone to do their job? Any more respect than anyone else who has to perform in their job? I respect people who gets results that lead to the advancement of their profession. Respectable advancement. Not just grabbing people's attention by trolling.
What do you mean what have they done. Skip worked for chicago tribune, covered the 98-00 bulls teams I believe, he has credibility, whether you like it or not, been in the business for like 30 years

People must not read other NBA articles because those writers are dumber than Skip and don't have the entertaining hyperbole. It's amazing what some people get paid to write. Uninteresting garbage, as least Skip is interesting garbage.

I'm watching Skip right now.

He's spot on about Johnny Manziel.

Johnny should be the # 1 pick.

You're basically calling Durant a moron who takes Skip at face value. :oldlol:

An idiot getting mad at another idiot and another idiot defending said idiot.

Longevity is not an indicator of success.

I wish you died.


Longevity is not an indicator of success.

It's an indicator of experience, though. What are you even arguing here? It's almost like you think anyone on this site has more cred than Skip.

Oh, of course.... that's the point.

KD is all of a sudden a different KD and is playing 'angry' in the 4th. Skip LOVES this *new* Durant. He's just objective and calls it how it is. :oldlol:

He's a trip.
