Skip Bayless, a multi-millionaire sports personality for reasons not even the brilliant Stephen Hawking can explain, is best known for being wrong about things. Usually, someone sifts through his old tweets, shares them and we all have a good chuckle, like this gem from 2012.
Long term give me Josh Freeman over Cam. Better leader, more consistent passer, more clutch, more poised under fire, more careful with ball.

Good times, good times.
But in this particular situation, it took less than five days for Bayless to be proven woefully wrong about one of his Earth-scorching takes. Oklahoma City won’t win a game against Golden State? The Thunder came away with a 108-102 win at Oracle Arena on Monday night in Game 1 of the Conference Finals, and Enes Kanter probably couldn’t wait to stick it to Bayless.

A more lukewarm, measured approach to analyzing Thunder-Warriors said this could be a series. Those don’t pay as well as the takes that could probably melt the skin of Daenerys Targaryen, so that’s why Bayless has money and also gets mocked by local school systems.
Hey, @espn please remind @RealSkipBayless that we taught him better than this. #Thunder #NBAplayoffs #NWClassenHS

Sure, we are all getting a good chuckle over just how wrong one man can be, but remember: you are probably laughing at Bayless from inside your dimly-lit cubicle. He is oblivious to all this and looks to purchase a home in Los Angeles that comes with a pool, hot tub and beautiful view in the very near future.
