Skip Bayless is seemingly not a fan of LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and now, Draymond Green. The four-time NBA champion Green has challenged the hegemony of the so-called “Old Media”. He has rechristened his podcast and others like his as the “New Media”. This has led to sharp criticism from figures in the “Old Media”. One of them includes the “hot take machine” Skip Bayless. The latter has very controversial opinions on sports. But, now, he has been pushed back by Draymond Green.
The forward had stated that his favorite “f–k you” since the parade was Skip Bayless. Green said,” F–king guy sucks.” Green continued to go in on Bayless. He said, “To absolutely destroy Skip Bayless, I’ll never see the rebuttal, but I’m sure he was as s–tty as when Stephen A. just crushed him last week. He looked like he was about to cry when he was responding to Stephen A.”
HEY, DRAYMOND GREEN … There you go again, taking shots at me from a safe distance. LET'S GO HEAD-TO HEAD, your podcast or mine or BOTH. Let's go deep on LeBron or Steph or YOU. Or anything NFL since you're the "New Media." Real talk. Not fake-tough-guy stuff. I'M WAITING …

Bayless had a prompt response to Green’s words on Twitter. He wrote,” HEY, DRAYMOND GREEN! There you go again, taking shots at me from a safe distance. LET’S GO HEAD-TO-HEAD, your podcast or mine or BOTH. Let’s go deep on LeBron or Steph or YOU. Or anything NFL since you’re the ‘New Media.’ Real talk. Not fake-tough-guy stuff. I’M WAITING …”

Skip’s bread and butter often comes from LeBron James. Bayless, an analyst for ESPN, is well known for his vocal criticism of LeBron James.
LeBron James, according to Bayless, is the NBA’s “most overprotected and under-criticized superstar”. He cited instances from some of LeBron’s most famous postseason losses and asserted that LeBron avoided any criticism despite underperforming.
