Skip Bayless continues to troll athletes as much as possible, this time going after Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Can Skip Bayless go a week without delivering a silly, absurd post on Twitter? Unfortunately, that doesn’t look like that’s going to be the case any time soon, as the loud-mouthed host is at it again, this time going after Giannis Antetokounmpo.
After the star player suffered his knee injury, he was forced to sit out both Game 5 and Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Well, Milwaukee went on to beat the Atlanta Hawks and they’ll now face the Phoenix Suns for the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Apparently, this is a bad look for Antetokounmpo, per Bayless.
Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t going to like the latest tweet from Skip Bayless
Does Bayless even have to wonder why so many people either mute him or have unfollowed him on Twitter? Why in the world would he feel the need to call out The Greek Freak like this? It just makes no sense.
While Milwaukee indeed was able to get the job done in both Game 5 and Game 6, this is a completely different team without Antetokounmpo on the floor. He’s one of the best players in the game and is the straw that stirs the drink for the Bucks.
The Suns are going to provide Milwaukee with all kinds of problems in the Finals. For the team to have a chance to come away with a win, they need Antetokounmpo to suit up, plain and simple. For now, he’ll continue to rehab his injured knee in hopes of making a difference with the title on the line.
If Antetokounmpo is able to suit up and power the Bucks to a championship, then Bayless is most certainly going to owe him an apology.
