Fans blast Skip Bayless for his comments about Angel Reese: What did the analyst say this time?
Fans did not forgive the commentator for his analysis of Angel Reese.
Fans erupted over Skip Bayless’s over-the-top praise for Angel Reese.
Skip Bayless, renowned for his controversial takes, has found himself in hot water once again, this time for his effusive praise of WNBA star Angel Reese. During Saturday night’s WNBA All-Star game, Bayless stunned fans with what he deemed perhaps the greatest compliment he’s ever given to a WNBA player, calling Reese “the most amazing offensive rebounder” he has ever seen.
Fans were quick to slam Bayless for his excessive admiration. Many took to social media to express their disbelief and frustration, questioning Bayless’s motives and basketball knowledge.
Critics accused the analyst of hyperbole and pointed out other legendary rebounders. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) sarcastically remarked, “The FS1 thing makes a lot of sense now…” referencing Bayless’s departure from his popular ‘Undisputed’ TV show.
Another fan added, “This is why they kicked you off your show,” while yet another scoffed, “Stat padding rebounds after missing your own shots is impressive now (?).” The backlash was swift and intense, with fans not holding back. “You ever see Dennis Rodman? He was pretty good,” another fan quipped, highlighting the absurdity of Bayless’s statement.
Fans roast Bayless for his takes
Despite the drama, Angel Reese delivered an impressive performance during the All-Star game, posting 12 points and 11 rebounds in just 18 minutes. She led all players with 11 rebounds, outpacing Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty by one.
This isn’t the first time Bayless has ignited controversy involving Angel Reese. Recently, his comments about the WNBA Rookie of the Year race between Reese and Caitlin Clark also drew ire.
During a segment on “Undisputed,”Bayless endorsed Reese for Rookie of the Year over Clark, citing Reese’s rebounding prowess and double-double record while criticizing Clark’s three-point shooting and turnover issues.
“I would have to… go Angel over Caitlin,” Bayless said. “And the reason being that Caitlin’s specialty is shooting three-point shots. And [Clark] is 33.1% from three, and it ranks 32nd in the league.”

Fans roasted Bayless for this take as well. One fan commented, “Skip Bayless picking Angel Reese to be rookie of the year is the best news Caitlin Clark fans could have possibly gotten today.” Another added, “Skip is struggling for ratings. He’s banking on the fans of Bron and CC to dislike him and build up his engagement.”
As Bayless continues to stir the pot with his provocative opinions, it remains to be seen how the sports community will respond. One thing is certain: his comments about the Sky’s forward have sparked a fiery debate among fans and pundits alike. Whether this will impact his credibility or simply keep him in the spotlight is a story that will continue to unfold
