Skip Bayless gives a cheeky response on Kevin Durant’s ‘I really don’t like you’ diss

Skip Bayless the host for Fox Sports Media Group’s Undisputed, who is also a sports columnist, a writer and the biggest LeBron James hater took on to appreciate Kevin Durant for his MVP calibre performance against the Detroit Pistons at Barclays Center, New York.

The recent match-up of Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons resulted in a victory for the Brooklyn Nets even though they were short of many players due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols and injury. Kevin Durant stepped up big time and dropped 51 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds while playing for 41 minutes and this sealed the deal for the Brooklyn Nets to win the game.

After the game Skip Bayless took on Kevin Durant’s performance and appreciated his efforts by his personal Twitter handle saying: “The Best Player on the Planet was at it again tonight in Brooklyn, going assassin in overtime for the COVID-rocked Nets. Nothing like Kevin Durant. You watch, Bron?”. Kevin Durant replied to this tweet by saying “I really don’t like u” and Skip had a lot to say about this diss by Kevin Durant for him on the latest segment of Undisputed with the co-host Shannon Sharpe.

Skip Bayless had a six minute long rant as a response to the tweet by Kevin Durant where he praised him and compared his actions to Michael Jordan. He started with saying: “When I first heard of this yesterday, I laughed, and then I laughed some more. Because Kevin Durant has tried to do this to me several times before, dating back to 2012, and this time, I’m sorry Kevin, I’m not going to take your bait. I’m not going to fall into the trap you want me to fall into, because this is what you need and what you want.”


He further added how he has always loved Kevin Durant and defended him except for the way he uses his social media handles and how he had no problems with him joining the Golden State Warriors and leaving Russell Westbrook behind. Skip said he still believes that Kevin Durant is the best player on the planet since Michael Jordan and he does this only to bring in some controversies to get motivation to win saying “He needs to motivate himself by creating some sort of controversy — this feud — with media members, especially those that actually “love him the most.”


When Shannon Sharpe said that the only reason he may have replied that can be you including LeBron James who is great and respected and no one really wants to take a shot at him like this. Skip replied to it questioning about KD being afraid and further added no matter what he is greater than LeBron. He ended his rant by saying that he will keep praising him and he is the best player on the planet.

Kevin Durant may or may not have seen this but gave a real time tweet response saying “Knew I needed love but I think I value the hate more….”. This can be towards Skip but since he hasn’t mentioned anything nothing can be made out of it. Skip bringing in LeBron and disrespecting him just made his appreciation worthless for Kevin Durant.
