When it comes to Fox Sports personality Skip Bayless, he’s leveraged an entire, successful media career by being loudly and stubbornly wrong about athletes and major sporting events.
So, when basketball fans (or fans of sports in general, really) all marveled at Saturday’s epic game between top-seeded Gonzaga and No. 11 seed UCLA in the men’s national semifinal, it seemed inevitable that Bayless would chime in with something to undercut the moment.
That, he did.
Basically, Bayless watched UCLA and Gonzaga go back-and-forth for 45 minutes — a game that ended with Jalen Suggs’ banked-in buzzer beater — and thought it wasn’t in the all-time-game conversation because Suggs’ shot was “lucky.”
No idea how you can call that an all-time great college basketball game when it was won by a lucky shot.

And sure, there’s always recency bias when it comes to all-time great proclamations, but in every sense, that game on Saturday night was just a delightful basketball-watching experience.

Fans lashed out at Bayless’ tweet for what it was — a disingenuous cry for attention.

It is truly a lifestyle for this man. Daniel Day-Lewis doesn’t commit this hard. https://t.co/F0alSDdLfL

These are the trash takes that cost Fox Sports a whopping $32 million.
It's amazing just how low the lowest common denominator really is. https://t.co/2zrhHUC3OH

Fox pays this guy $8M a year for you to get pissed at him on Twitter, while mid-market sportscasters work 13 hour days at a $45K salary doing feature stories on your kids. https://t.co/GgWebsPiBb
