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

Be it Lebron, Tebow, Romo, Westbrook, Manning, Durant, Mayweather or whoever...Skip doesnt much talk about sports. He talks about in vague cliches and about how he thinks people......feel.

Smith at least will try to explain himself within the confines of the sport in question. But neither are anything more than usual sports fans. Just happen to be on tv.

Stephen A. Smith. Neither of them are very good analysts but Skip is just terrible.

I think Skip plays a character to a certain degree on the show so you can't really tell if that's all he has got in terms of knowledge of the game.
And Stephen is immersed in the NBA circles and knows a lot of guys(or the amount of name dropping he commits creates that illusion).
I know the "analysis" they provide is really simple, but you can't expect them to break down plays like coach Dick does or say clutch does not exists like Henry Abbott.
The crowd that would appreciate that is a minority in comparison to the present crowd that watches the show and as every TV show they cater to their audience.

Skip when it comes to boxing is just to funny, the dude literally knows nothing, I'm literally embarrased for him listening to him speak about the sport of boxing.

[STATUTORY]

Skip Bayless easily. He creates narratives about the psychological makeup of players and social implications of their actions. greatest troll on tv

[Trollsmasher]

Skip, because everything he says is absolutely hilariously idiotic and that implies that he knows exactly what he is talking about and what is trendy.

Stephen A. is more about the style of his speech. That Jay Pharoah parody is one of the best I've seen.

[305Baller]

They both stink.

They're entertainers, not analysts, but Stephen A Smith seems more intelligent than Skip Bayless. Now whether it's because Skip is a better actor or whether he genuinely has below average intelligence, I don't know.

I think he's an actor. I've caught him numerous times with a grin after he has said something troll-like.

[Rubio2Gasol]

Neither analyze shit. One of the funniest videos I've seen is when Cuban asks Skip about the defensive sets Dallas ran to force Lebron off the ball - Skip was dumbfounded.

Push. Both of these f*ckers are idiots that just spew sh*t for ratings. SAS is at least funny sometimes in his delivery. Skip is like many of the trolls on this site.

Paper or Plastic?

Either way when you get them home they're both just trashbags

[jazz873]

Skip is all shock value. So Stephen A

[jzek]

SAS actually knows a thing or two about sports.
Skip is there just to say controversial things that will get ppl riled up.
