Skip Bayless and Shaquille O’Neal engage in a verbal war: NBA Update
Television’s Sports Commentator and Analyst Skip Bayless fired back at the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar Shaquille O’Neal on Wednesday morning, a day after the Big Shaq took him to the cleaners live on TV.
The 39 year old Shaq, who recently called an end to his illustrious career about a month back and took a job as an analyst on TNT, made scrutinized Skip on a show, which is hosted by the famous Conan O’Brien. While talking about
his new position in TNT, Shaq fired a shot on the media critics, who do not have any playing experience and still do not refrain from propagating their expert opinion.
Initially, Shaq refused to pick a name, but Conan finally managed to budge the big man and the name that ‘the Diesel’ uttered was that of Skip Bayless.
Bayless took no time in giving a robust response and challenged Shaquille O’Neal next morning to come in his show and out-debate him.
On his show, Bayless pointed his finger towards the camera and fired back at the NBA legend, pushing him to accept the challenge.
"Shaq, you keep ducking me. I don't understand it. Except maybe you're more Shakira O'Neal,"
Shaq and Bayless have been at it for quite some time now. Previously, Skip called Shaq “Shaquille O’Whale” after the former NBA superstar gained a lot of weight. O’Neal has not been quiet as well and called out Skip four times
publically.
This time, Shaq questioned Bayless’s wisdom by saying that he although; he has never played professional basketball, he keeps on passing judgment on the game and the players. The rivalry between the two went to the next level as
Bayless also challenged the wisdom of the four-time NBA Champion.
“I’m told Shaq takes another shot at me, tonight on Conan. Has open invite to debate me on 1st&10”.
O’Neal, who was known as an aggressive and powerful competitor on the court, won’t be backing down off the court as well. Bayless has thrown a challenge towards Shaq and it will be interesting to see both face to face if Shaquille
O’Neal accepts the challenge. Both carry a substantial experience and fame in their line of business and the excitement of having a debate of Bayless and Shaq won’t be less than any rivalled NBA game.
