I’m gonna keep skipping past you just like everybody skipped on you. Because that show is dead. No one wants to hear you talk anymoreSkippin Skip, that’s a wrap.”

What fueled Draymond Green to call out Skip Bayless?

Bayless has criticized the Warriors numerous times on his show on ESPN. Anyhow, his latest words toward Green were quite harsh. On his podcast, Bayless termed Green as the “dirtiest player in NBA history” He also added a few words that triggered the 2017 DPOY to respond as above.

Bayless said, “I dare you to go on YouTube and watch those low-light tapes of the cavalcade of the Draymond Green dirtiest plays over the years…Draymond is the all-time cheap shot artist.” It’s safe to say Green gave a fitting reply, considering the support he has received from the NBA world.

Bayless, who joined Fox Sports recently, had a tough time getting the attention of the audience. In April, his show Undisputed averaged just 48,000 viewers. So, Green decided to take a dig at his viewership, and it looks like the feelings resonated well.
