Skip Bayless, Fox Sports main antagonizer, came out on Twitter bashing Blazers star Damian Lillard after a tough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Unfortunately for Skip, Lillard fired back…
I have never been buying nothing about you fam. You a joke. And after our private convo full of back pedaling you will never have my respect 🤡 https://t.co/do0yxFgUju

Lillard’s comments solidify what most sports fans already knew: Skip Bayless is an act that either doesn’t believe what he is spewing or doesn’t want to defend himself behind closed doors.
Dame also got into a postgame Instagram war with Paul George after the Kawhi-less Clippers beat his Blazers.
Paul George, Pat Beverley & Dame on Instagram!

Skip Bayless used the drama for his own benefit, but according to Lillard, Skip is all bark. Shouldn’t shock anyone. Dame is in a position most athletes avoid in this generation: staying with your original team to work through the growing pains and passing up on greener grass elsewhere.
Paul George, Patrick Beverley, and Skip Bayless are nothing more than the javelinas from The Lion King.
There’s a reason Damian Lillard remains a fan favorite while Paul George lives the life of a sidekick.
Skip and company will continue to live a life speaking negatively over the names of athletes working to overcome, while praising those that escaped the den. Dame plays a game of risk and reward that’ll bring more fulfillment than anyone speaking down on him will ever see.
We’ll see if the Twitter/Instagram feuds live on, but Dame’s legacy will never be touched.
Easy for PG and company to talk that smack knowing the Blazers will have to get through the Lakers and to the Western Conference Finals to see him again. Also, easy to talk after Dame uncharacteristically missed two free throws at the end of the Clippers game this weekend. I like the Clippers chances this year, but no need to kick a man when he’s down.
Dame D.O.L.L.A. can DUNK on Skippy all day longggggggggg!!!
Can’t get enough of it. LMAO
I think Skip hasn’t believed what he’s been saying for years. But, he gets paid very well and is willing to keep it going for the money.
