Skip Bayless’ feud with Russell Westbrook’s wife just went to another level when he actually responded to her.
Skip Bayless has criticized Russell Westbrook a ton in the past, and even more so with the Lakers. There is no doubt that Bayless views Westbrook as one of the Lakers’ problems due to fit, and he has even suggested that Russell Westbrook should be a sixth man for the team.
“It’s just a wrongheaded fit. It will not work and I feel sorry for everybody involved. So you gotta figure out what’s the best way to utilize him… He needs to be Manu Ginobili but he will not accept being 6th Man of the Year.
That’s who Russ could and should be at this stage of his career. To me, that’s the best fit.”
Russell Westbrook’s wife, Nina Westbrook, got tired of Bayless and his rants on her husband, so she called him out on Instagram and Twitter.
“I just found out that @skipbayless blocked me on Twitter… as though I’m the one constantly harassing him and calling him out of his name.
Mr. Bayless. I’m a real person. If you’re able to use your platform to degrade my husband and constantly call him out of his name then at least be adult enough to deal with the consequences of your actions. Don’t try to erase me from your reality to make yourself feel better about your choice.
I’m still here. There’s no need to block me. Just be respectful, and I have no reason to respond or remind you of your reckless choices. Just do better.”
Over the weekend, Bayless took to Twitter and claimed he has “never blocked anybody”. He also added that he “will continue to tell the truth” as he sees fit regarding Russell Westbrook.
