George Karl and Jay Williams have jumped on the Skip Bayless bashing bandwagon.
There was no shortage of opinions following the Miami Heat’s victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. However, Fox Sports’ Skip Bayless took a controversial stance by accusing Nuggets’ star player, Nikola Joki?, of “greasing” in his shots.
I have never ever seen a man luck in as many shots as Joker did tonight. We used to call them "greasing" in shots. Tonight Joker was one big tub of Crisco.

Bayless’ comments were met with widespread criticism. Even former Nuggets coach, George Karl, joined the backlash against Bayless’ remarks.
This man is an embarrassment to sports media https://t.co/eyLutuYf6h

ESPN’s Jay Williams was also critical of Bayless’ use of the term “greasing.”
“Greasing”.. I have never heard this in my 41 yrs of basketball. Wrong.. wrong..wrong..wrong.. you don’t “luck” into 41 points in the nba finals. ?????.. https://t.co/07Wu25YGdA

Bayless’ recent drama with co-host Shannon Sharpe and his supposed “final say” on Sharpe’s replacement has led to ridicule from many Twitter users.
Who’s “We”? You were “greasing” in pop a shots? https://t.co/R3HRoc8BL8

Let’s just nip this in the bud… @RealSkipBayless never played any sport outside of high school. He wasn’t even Valedictorian of his class at Classen. He is a spotlight-craving troll, making his opinion based against the majority. Step up or step aside @RealSkipBayless https://t.co/iSci2NCrp9

You must be having a rough few years watching him luck into all these shots… if you were watching at all https://t.co/JkLuv9I7CW

This is just one of many controversies Bayless has sparked on the platform over the years, and it’s noteworthy to see George Karl and Jay Williams among those roasting him with such intensity.
The funny thing is Skip is just the world’s best troll and people keep on taking the bait.
