Draymond Green has ‘Screws loose’, says Stephen A. Smith’s biggest rival, amid Biggest Hater Remark
As an NBA analyst, Skip Bayless is a harsh commentator and critic of athletes and their shortcomings. The Fox Sports show host used to mostly target LeBron James for his play and every activity on the court. However, a few days before, Draymond Green entered the scene and called Bayless “the biggest hater outside of the NBA.” The NBA analyst has now retaliated through ‘The Skip Bayless Show’ on Fox Sports. Bayless launched a series of verbal attacks on the Warriors player in an almost four-and-a-half-minute-long rant against Green.
While going on with his criticism, Bayless called Draymond’s whole personality a facade, saying, “Everybody loves Draymond. Somehow his perception is his reality. He’s such a nice guy, he’s so fun… Now the truth is Draymond Green is just a great actor.” Further adding to his sequence of continuous condemnation of the GSW forward, Bayless said, “At his core deepest down, he’s always been a dirty basketball player with one or may be two screws loose.“

Interestingly, it is not just the retaliation for Green’s statement or happened for the first time. Skip had gone on a serious rant against the Warriors forward before as well, when the latter got ejected from the game in March this year against the Orlando Magic. Four minutes into the game, Green was arguing with the referee, resulting in his ejection from the game after two technical fouls. It garnered a lot of criticism, with Skip Bayless as well calling the Warriors player the “Nicest cheap-shot artist ever.”
Notably, Skip Bayless is a Fox Sports show host while Stephen A. Smith is an ESPN show host making them the rival show hosts of the NBA for their respective channels. However, the latter does not belong to Draymond’s liking, as he expressed it on ‘The Big Podcast’ with Shaquille O’Neal.

Even Skip Bayless’ rival pi**ed Draymond Green off!
Talking about his suspensions and the criticisms they attracted, Draymond Green targeted NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith. Sharing his meeting incident with Smith, Green shared, “Stephen A. Smith really pi**ed me off. The reason he pi**ed me off because he hit me.” Further adding to the info, the Warriors player also explained that it was just to let him notice that it was getting difficult for Smith and other analysts to talk about Green due to his shenanigans.
However, Green seemed really hurt that people were judging him off the court. However, he stated that he cared nothing about what people said about him as a basketball player. But as a human being, nobody knows him. Yet the fans claim to provide suggestions on his personal life going with the narrative.

At the end of the day, whatever Green does is to help his team win the game. Even though it can get dirty, it does not decide its character. Maybe his remark for Bayless was just as an NBA analyst. But the latter took it personally and went on a rant against the Warriors player. What do you all think about Skip Bayless chastising Green? Let us know in the comments, and make sure to watch out for what Shaq’s confidante and ex-agent, Leonard Armato, shared about the marketing genius in the following video.
