Who is the better analyst? Skip Bayless or Stephen A. Smith?

Skip is a clown the guy doesn't even really do any real journalism or go to games or practices or anything. The guy probably watches a lot less NBA than a lot of the guys on this site. He's never even met Lebron or Tebow or Durant or most big name athletes yet he makes a living trying to discredit them every day. I'd really be interested to know how much basketball the guy actually watches. I think I remember something online saying he was a star pointguard in high school but it was probably just bullshit. The dude is like 5'3" so i'm not really buying him being a big star. The guy is getting rich acting like a troll on tv so you can't really call him a moron but i'd rather not watch him and i'm glad he's never included on like any game halftime panels or anything. Shaq and Kenny are already pretty bad and Magic isn't much better. Throwing Skip into something like that would be horrible

None are analysts per se, they're talk show hosts.

Skip is brilliant at what he does. People may call him an idiot, but the man does his job perfectly, he knows what buttons to push and he does them excellently.

Stephen A imo is too chummy with the athletes, he tends to favor their side more only calling them out when it is very obvious to do so.

But they make a perfect team. Their chemistry is great and entertaining.

Now why they have Janelle or whatever that idiot's name is I don't know.

I like them both. I listen closely to Stephen A to pick up some new words for my vocabulary and for Skip, he's just a cool grandpa. Out of the two, I bet it's only Skip who has banged Ms. Champion.

Stephen Ass Smith and Bayless both suck cocck. espn has become such a joke it's sad. but than again they fit into the garbage that tv networks know the dumb consumers will gobble up.

That's like asking what hurts worse, a toothache or an earache.

They're both two big mouths who seek headlines, they should not be considered analyst.
