He's being kinder than i thought. I expected a bunch of sideways snarky compliments.

But then he, Bayless, spends 1/2 the time trying to prove how correct he was from the beginning.

Wilt Chamberlain was the most dominant ever. 23 rebounds per game//30.1 pts/game. If he wasn't so pathetic at the free throw line he would have blown past MJ instead of tying him in pts per game

Cuban is awesome. Would any other owner go on a show like First Take for a half hour? They'd stop by for 30 seconds if that.

He was on for 3 segments so I don't know if there's a video out there w/ just Cuban.

That ownage is amazing

I prefer Skip to Stephen A. Got to love when Smith brings up being african american.

lol lebron reads hunger games

Skip is Rome with 0 sports knowledge. I can respect Rome, he has sports knowledge to go with his semi cheap tricks.

Skip is still just that old man on the porch (in this scenario he struck the lottery to not be homeless) yelling at kids for being young and everything he is is cheap.

Big Props to Cuban for putting Bayless in his place

Confirmed. Bayless IS ******ed.

Cuban

It's all downhill from here skip. Tho he has hitched his wagon to loltebow so he'll milk that for some time too

I'm honestly shocked that Skip doesn't even know what a zone defense is.

Obviously he doesn't know much about NBA or NFL and he's just a gimmicky contrarian sensationalist anyway, but zone D is as basic as it gets.

Skip has now hopped on the LBJ bandwagon. He said he was critical to help LBJ reach his potential.

Crazy stuff.

Its on his Twitter

Cuban owned him no doubt, but he's missing the whole point of Skip. Skip's schick is to get people angry at him and to argue. Just by being the dumb angry guy, he got Cuban to go on the show. Both Cuban and Steven A. said it's very hard to interview Cuban because he turns down almost every interview. If Bayless isn't who he is, no way does Cuban go on the show.

And ESPN LOVES it.

I like Cuban a lot. He's smart, funny and doesn't feel the need to try and impress. I also like how he seems to think, "**** it, I'm insanely rich so I don't have to wear anything but a t-shirt if I don't want to."

I remember reading somewhere he refuses to wear suits and doesn't allow employees to wear them. I also remember hearing he didn't bother interviewing a guy for a job because he showed up wearing a suit.

This has to be a level

Was already a pretty huge Cuban faboy before this but holy **** that was amazing, thank you Cuban for bringin some non-tard to ESPN

The way he does it is so great, its certainly insulting to Skip but its insulting in a way Skip cant handle: its not just shouting "Youre an idiot! I DISAGREE!" at him, which he can just shout back. Its calling him an idiot, calmly, for very specific reasons, and then going on to detail and support those reasons. Honestly not sure how Skip can watch/listen to that and not be effected a little.

Aside from the fact that Skip is a fake person and doesnt even like sports. Would have been even more amazing if he ends it with "But I know you dont care about any of this, since you dont actually watch sports, you dont actually believe any of this, and this is all just an act for ESPN to trick gullible viewers into tuning in. Which they will hopefully stop doing now since you've been exposed."

would it surprise you though?

Rich people are allowed to be crazy, they actually call it by a different name: eccentric.


I used to wealthy to be eccentric, but since black friday I am just a wakadoo.

Cuban has writted a blog on his refusal to be forced to wear a suit, and I'm pretty sure its always optional for all his employees. The part about him not interviewing a guy because he showed up in a suit sounds like BS though.

Cannot overstate how much fun this was to watch.

Pretty sure ESPN just takes polls of public opinion to decide what fence skip will be on, then Stephen A is stuck being rational.

I would bet that is why the rest of jealous bigot america was "hard" on lebron too.

Cuban fans should watch him on Shark Tank. He's pretty awesome on that too.
