“KD, Kawhi, Harden, all rejected to play alongside him” Skip Bayless tries to change narrative around Lakers by taking wild shot at Russell Westbrook

Skip Bayless and his ability to turn everything against Russell Westbrook is honestly commendable. At a point when the entire league is against Westbrook and is blaming him for the downfall of the Los Angeles Lakers, Bayless has almost singlehandedly managed to bring about a new way to disrespect or roast the players every single time. The mantle of going against the Lakers and specifically Russell Westbrook has now fallen on Skip Bayless’ shoulder as Shannon Sharpe in this sequence could do nothing but experience the hatred coming from Bayless as he spoke words of negativity against Westbrook.

Russell Westbrook and Skip Bayless don’t have the best of relationships, and at this point, it is easily evident from the things both of these people have to say about each other. Skip Bayless, the NBA Pundit goes all out in his statements against Westbrook and the latter gives post-match interviews and makes Instagram stories targeting him. Never before has the relationship between an analyst and a player been filled with such bad-blood. The bad blood which doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon as Russell is barely performing, and even when he somehow surprisingly manages to perform, it doesn’t sit very well with Skip Bayless.

In this incident, Bayless was in conversation with fellow NBA Analyst Shannon Sharpe, who was just a witness to the eruption of Skip’s negativity and hatred towards the Lakers’ Westbrook, who has struggled with his inconsistent performances all season, and has been able to have no impact in leading the way for his team to get dubs, not even when they needed him the most.

Let us take a closer look at this conversation between the analysts and assess the things Bayless had to say about Westbrook.

Skip Bayless alleges Russell Westbrook is the problem EVERYWHERE

Bayless has had enough of conversations where Westbrook is portrayed as the victim in a scenario that the latter himself created. Bayless feels, it isn’t “Poor Westbrook” but it’s rather “Poor Lakers” who are suffering from the problem called Russell Westbrook.
While Bayless was in conversation with Shannon Sharpe, he felt the need to point out specifically why Russell was the problem in this entire scenario according to him. Bayless gave out a certain set of instances and there was one name common in all of them, that of his archenemy, Westbrook, who is the villain for the entire NBA and Lakers Fandom right now.

Bayless began by questioning Westbrook’s history and began with statements to shatter his victimization one by one. Skip first spoke about Kevin Durant and his problems with Westbrook, which led him to leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder in order to join the Golden State Warriors with the hopes of getting his hand at the NBA Championship, which he was eventually able to do.

Bayless then spoke about James Harden and his presence in the team of Rockets with Westbrook, which ended up in the former concluding that he didn’t want any part of the latter, or anything to do with him, which led to him leaving the team, and joining the Nets.

Skip then also spoke about Paul George playing with Westbrook in the Thunder, who said to himself that he couldn’t play alongside Westbrook, even though he initially felt that it would work. Bayless then also added that Kawhi Leonard had a chance to play with Westbrook, which he denied, and said, “Nah… I’m good”. And to conclude, Skip said that it all adds up to tell us that the problem isn’t the Lakers Nation, it is actually Russell Westbrook, and it isn’t “Poor Westbrook” but rather “Poor Lakers Nation”.

Let us now take a look at the reactions people on twitter had to Skip’s comments on Westbrook, which were nothing less than big shots fired towards the player. Seemingly, it also affected their odds at NBA betting markets available at bwin.
