Bayless on Durant
In the newest episode of Undisputed, Skip Bayless had a lot of nice words to say about Kevin Durant. Bayless said that Durant is going to decide this year’s NBA championship, and then starting July 1st, he’s going to decide next year’s NBA championship.
"KD's going to decide this year's NBA championship, and then starting July 1st, he's going to decide next year's NBA championship. That's why I think he's the best player on the planet because his strength of scoring is greater than LeBron's greatest strength." — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/EFzb7O1dhT
