Skip even called Russ "delusional."

Skip Bayless is someone who is incredibly harsh on a lot of athletes. There are some people that he hates a whole lot more than others, and it rubs people the wrong way. Overall, Bayless is still able to secure big ratings for his show Undisputed, which he co-hosts with Shannon Sharpe. Over the years, this show has proven to be a winner for Bayless. Although he gets into some fights with Shannon, there is no doubt that these two have a ton of on-camera chemistry. They have been doing this for almost seven years, and fans hope it goes on even longer.

One of the athletes that Bayless has ripped over the years is Russell Westbrook. In fact, Bayless has been particularly harsh on Russ this season. This is mostly due to his poor play on the Los Angeles Lakers. Although Russ is now off of the Lakers, he has even more reason to go after him. Overall, this is because Westbrook is signing with the Los Angeles Clippers. As a Kawhi stan, Bayless cannot stand this signing.

Skip Bayless Goes Off

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO: Before the season, not in my wildest nightmares could I have imagined Russell Westbrook moving from the Lakers to the Clippers. Now the Lakers are better and the Clippers worse. The Clippers fell into the same trap LeBron did. Russ: MORE TROUBLE THAN HE'S WORTH," Bayless wrote. "The problem with Russell Westbrook is he still believes he's a SUPERSTAR. No player is more delusional about who he currently is. No player lives in his past more. Now the Clippers are saying to the Lakers, 'Watch US make it work with Russ.' No you won't."

Bayless was not finished as he continued to call Russ names like "Westbrick." Moreover, he tried to say that there is no possibility in which Kawhi Leonard is happy with the signing. Overall, Skip has no idea what goes on in the Clippers' locker room. That said, this is one of those NBA moves that will haunt the Undisputed star, forever. Let us know what you think of this signing for the Clippers, in the comments below.
