Skip Bayless has jokes.

Skip Bayless is one of the most hated men on television, especially as it pertains to the sports world. Overall, this is mostly due to all of his bizarre hot takes on people like LeBron James. However, there are times when Bayless can make you laugh. After all, he is a troll and it is a troll's duty to at least make you chuckle on occasion. When it comes to Skip, that has certainly been the case over the years. On Twitter, he will just drop a gem out of nowhere and it will end up going viral, unbeknownst to him.

Recently, former Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson made some weird comments about the NBA. Overall, he doesn't watch the sport anymore. Why? You ask. Because he didn't like the "Black Lives Matter" signs on the court during the bubble season. Consequently, Jackson has been deemed as a racist. Moreover, people like Skip Bayless are looking to take their shots at him. On Monday night, that is exactly what happened as Bayless was watching Jimmy Butler put up 56 on the Bucks. Near the end of the game, Skip tweeted "If only Phil Jackson could see this."

Skip Bayless Hits Phil Jackson With A Joke

Ultimately, this was a hilarious joke that NBA Twitter was appreciative of. When Skip Bayless wants to be, he can be shady, and that is exactly what we saw here. In the tweets down below, you can see many of the reactions to what Bayless said. "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Joke," one meme read. "Skip is not supposed to get Ws on this app. The world is ending," another user wrote. Quite simply, Skip won over some fans, despite all of the odds.

At this point, Phil Jackson is a bit of a pariah within NBA circles. Ever since he called LeBron and his friends a "posse," he has been looked at differently. Needless to say, he probably won't get another NBA job anytime soon. Let us know your thoughts on Skip's diss, in the comments down below.
