NBA Fans Rip Skip Bayless for Critiquing Anthony Edwards’s Game-Saving Block
This did not age well.
Anthony Edwards made one of the best plays of the 2023-24 NBA season on Thursday night when he stuffed Aaron Nesmith’s layup in the closing seconds of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 113–111 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Edwards jumped so high that he hit his head on the rim.
Somehow, Fox Sports commentator Skip Bayless found something to nitpick on the play, believing that any of the Timberwolves in the area also could have made that block.
“There were white jerseys everywhere,” Bayless said to co-host Keyshawn Johnson. “Somebody is going to do it. You have this a 10? It’s the easiest block ever.”

That did not sit well with NBA fans on social media.
This is a crazy way for Skip to try to stay relevant.
