Skip Bayless went off on Russell Westbrook.

Skip Bayless is someone who has been known to be incredibly harsh when talking about players throughout the NBA. Overall, a lot of fans do not care at all for the commentary that Skip provides. However, he has based his whole career around the concept of trolling, so it should come as no surprise that he gets ratings. After all, controversy is what gets people to watch your show, and he understands this. Whether it be LeBron James or Patrick Mahomes, Bayless will find a way to criticize the best athletes around.

One of the basketball players that Bayless has put on blast quite a bit as of late is none other than Russell Westbrook. Westbrook has not been having a particularly great season. In fact, he was recently traded to the Utah Jazz. Subsequently, he is set to be bought out by the team. This will then lead to him picking his next franchise. For now, he has two main options, including the Clippers and the Bulls. However, the Heat seem to be a darkhorse option here.

As for Skip Bayless, he is not a big fan of Westbrook, whatsoever. He firmly believes that the point guard commits way too many turnovers and is not worth the trouble. His opinion of Westbrook was reflected in some very harsh comments that were made on Undisputed this morning. "He's just more trouble than he's worth. I wouldn't want him on my team," Bayless said. "Russell Westbrook has the worst pair of hands of any point guard I’ve seen in high school, college, or the pros. The turnovers are so bad."

At this point, the narrative around Russell Westbrook has become downright disrespectful. Very few people actually believe in his abilities right now, and it has been striking to watch. However, he does have an opportunity to prove everyone wrong. Ultimately, it will be up to him as to whether or not he accomplishes that. As always, let us know what you think of these comments from Bayless, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
