Shortly after the Raptors eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Saturday night, Professional troll Skip Bayless sent this tweet regarding Leonard.
Well, I guess it worked for No. 2 to quit on the Spurs last season complaining of what Spurs doctors decided was no more than a thigh bruise. He wound up in the East, playing against a hobbled, sick Embiid and an overrated Giannis. “Crime” pays.

Bayless is a native of San Antonio, and a huge fan of the San Antonio Spurs, and is still bitter Kawhi Leonard was traded away last summer.
Bayless’ tweet, like most everything he says, is intended to annoy.
Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum took the bait.
Give it a rest skip. Get some sleep man. Klaw is a monster. Get that hate out your heart https://t.co/IcdJXs2jM4

Then after he took the bait, Skip decided to continue trolling, and will talk about it on his show.
On tomorrow morning’s Undisputed, I will tell you exactly how I feel about C.J. McCollom’s Saturday-night tweet about me … and how I feel about No. 2 making it all the way to the NBA Finals. Join us tomorrow, Memorial Day, at 9:30 E on FS1.

Then McCollum corrected Skip on the spelling of his name.
McCollum . M c C o l l u m . Make sure you spell my name right from here on out. Thanks in advance https://t.co/LBeR6KTFH7

Skip talked about it today on his show, just as he promised.
The young No. 2 was in a shell and the Spurs brought him out of his shell. Duncan, Ginobili, Parker taught this young man how to do it, how to be a pro, how to believe in yourself, how to play at the highest level in the biggest games. More @Undisputed now on FS1 https://t.co/LI2QaDhsEJ

Skip is a genius troll.
And that’s why he gets paid the big bucks.
