When Draymond Green told Skip Bayless, “I am better than you,” he meant a jumpshot among a lot of things. Skip Bayless earned the mockery of a few NBA veterans recently for his general loudmouthedness. But the king of being a loudmouth while staying lovable and entertaining topped them all in a single sentence. But Charles Barkley is not very fond of Bayless. And between him and Bayless, there’s no doubt more than a few NBA players would pick Chuck. With that kind of confidence, Barkley can roast the Undisputed analyst without losing a wink of sleep.
Lucas Brody of The Broadcast Boys knew what he was doing when he caught up with Barkley some time after the Western Conference Finals with questions he’s never been asked before. Showing him videos of his comedic golf swing alongside Skip Bayless’ laughable jumpshot, he asked which would he prefer. “You know he’s not one of my favorite people,” Chuck added a disclaimer before he actually saw Skip’s basketball skills.
That particular clip went viral in March when he challenged Cam Newton to a three-point contest. His ‘unique’ form was already a social media meme. We only needed Chuckster to react. The Round Mound of Rebound looked positively horrified. With belated pity for anyone with eyes, he declared, “Well, nobody wants to see that.” Too late for us Chuck.

This isn’t good-natured banter like Chuck calling Shaq (who also doesn’t love Skip) ugly. Barkley and Barkless’ feud is history. They disagreed on their NFL opinions and Barkley has indirectly called out ‘guys on television’ like Bayless for spewing hate at athletes.

Compared to the heat Bayless is getting lately, this is tame. Chuckster is probably enjoying it from the sidelines.
Chuck’s favorites feud with Skip Bayless
After serving as a guest analyst on TNT with Chuck, Green took on Bayless in a series of back and forths. The hardest jab that resonated with everyone was, “Everybody’s skipping past Skip Bayless since Shannon left him.. I am not coming on your show Skip. I’m gonna keep skipping past you, just like everybody else skipped on you, because that show is dead, no one wants to hear you talk anymore.”
Steph Curry too commented under the post with fast forward emojis and, “been skipping!” LeBron James liked Green’s post. Matt Barnes also commented, “Times UP Skipper.”
The peak of Barkley’s feud with Bayless was about his extreme prejudice against Bron. While playing golf against Curry at The Match last year, the athletes got quite a chuckle when Barkley called Bayless an “idiot” after Shannon Sharpe left Undisputed.
