Skip Bayless unleashed a scathing attack on Kevin Durant, which came after he engaged in a social media spat with Skip’s co-host, Keyshawn Johnson, over his legacy with the Golden State Warriors. Bayless criticized KD for stooping to argue with “nobodies” on Twitter.
The controversy started when Johnson suggested that Paul Pierce could have achieved similar success to Durant if he played with the Warriors, a statement the Slim Reaper took exception to this, firing back on social media. Bayless on Undisputed then came to Johnson’s defense, questioning Durant’s character and urging him to rise above online hecklers.
I’m gonna say it again about Kevin. He is the thinnest-skinned superstar in the history of sports because he has had burner accounts. And he continues to stoop to go completely beneath his all-time great dignity and engage with nobodies on Twitter. Go back and forth. That he was doing it yesterday. Back and forth with nobody. That’s wrong. That’s wrong. Kevin, you’re Kevin bleeping Durant. What are you doing?
Skip Bayless said on Fox’s Undisputed
Bayless’s comments on Undisputed highlighted Durant’s history of using burner accounts to engage with critics online. He argued that Durant’s behavior was unbecoming of a player of his stature and that he should focus on his game rather than getting drawn into petty arguments.
The debate surrounding Durant’s legacy with the Warriors continues to simmer, with many arguing that the team could have won without him. Bayless’s comments only added fuel to the fire, and it remains to be seen how Durant will respond to the latest criticism.

I wasn’t even sure Kevin Durant could play today. I was very surprised that if he was going to play, he didn’t even start. Then he comes in late first quarter and does that?
