Who was the happiest and saddest after the Lakers' loss?
There's nobody last night who was more delighted. by the turn of events than the one and only Dan Levitard. Oh my God, I had to do a two hour stream with him last night and it happened right when that Bulls game was ending. We had Nick Wright on and it was crazy, right? I could see Dan, who's obviously not here, he's out of town, I could see him wanna parachute back in and do the show today, and I said, no, no, we can't do that. We got it from here. But the second happiest person has to be Stephen A. Smith. This is like the exact other side of the coin from the Pacers game, right? Pacers game happens. LeBron's in Indiana. He does Pat McAfee. They post all the memes, him and Kevin Love are tag teaming, like the ha-ha, look at Stephen A. Smith trying to box and all that stuff. And then LeBron has a tip in to win the game, and it's like top of the mountaintop. That's why you don't mess with the big dog. And then literally one night later, LeBron has that turnover, and then Josh Giddey, of all people, hits a half-court shot over him.
And I know somewhere Stephen A. Smith popped. Just straight up explosion of ecstasy, right? But there is someone who is the saddest person in all of these proceedings. It's not LeBron. I don't think he's sad. I mean, it happens. They're gonna play another game. They'll play Memphis on Saturday. We move on, right? It's not the Lakers who are seeing their playoff seating in jeopardy here. It's Skip Bayless. Do you understand Skip Bayless spent over a decade.
How did Skip Bayless react to the Lakers' collapse?
This is a great take.
Right? Like, needling LeBron, calling him all sorts of names, trying to bait him, like, acknowledge me. Just acknowledge me once. Come on. I dare you. I'll debate me here and all that stuff, right? And he did a show with Stephen A. Smith, and he was doing this. And he did a show with Shannon Sharper, and he was doing this. And then he did a show with Lil Wayne and a bunch of other people, and he was doing this, right? And then he stepped away from doing a show. He said, I'm going to go chill in my house. I'll do some stuff on you. That's definitely how that went. Right? For Geraldine. For Ernestine. For Ernestine. For Ernestine. Right? So it's like, all right, okay, whatever. We gave it an old college try. 20 years. It didn't work. All right. And then the moment he steps aside, not only does this thing happen, it happens to Stephen A. Smith and not...
I've been here this whole time. I've been saying wild shit the whole time. Why didn't you acknowledge me? Why didn't you run up on me?
Isn't that connected, though, in some ways? Is it? Because isn't it probably why LeBron, when he felt... The comments from Stephen A. Smith was probably more disappointed in Stephen A. Smith than he doesn't care what Skip says. And that's probably just hurt Skip even more. Of course. That it's like I not even looked at with enough respect to get under your skin.
The most aggrieved part of here is Skip Bayless. Because not only did it not happen to him, Hawk. Uh-huh. He doesn't even have the opportunity to go on air across the nation, nationwide TV, and do his thing.
He's in like a straitjacket. You're at the crazy farm and all of a sudden it's like, that was me! And they're like, okay grandpa, I was the one doing that first!
And also Dak Prescott trade rumors. He's probably losing his mind.
Talk about Dan wanting to parachute in. This is how I feel when I see crazy route footwork videos going viral nowadays or like a bunch of short receivers in the NFL being superstars. I feel like I'm in that straitjacket. I'm Skip Bayless in that situation.
