Skip Bayless’ feud with Russell Westbrook’s wife Nina Westbrook is still on and it looks like it isn’t ending until Russell starts putting up great performances for the Lakers. Skip Bayless has fired back at Nina after she called him out for saying her husband should be a sixth man for the Lakers.
Skip Bayless said:
“It’s just a wrongheaded fit. It will not work and I feel sorry for everybody involved. So you gotta figure out what’s the best way to utilize him… He needs to be Manu Ginobili but he will not accept being 6th Man of the Year.
That’s who Russ could and should be at this stage of his career. To me, that’s the best fit.”
And here is Nina Westbrook’s response to Bayless’ take on her husband’s performance.
“I just found out that @skipbayless blocked me on Twitter… as though I’m the one constantly harassing him and calling him out of his name.
Mr. Bayless. I’m a real person. If you’re able to use your platform to degrade my husband and constantly call him out of his name then at least be adult enough to deal with the consequences of your actions. Don’t try to erase me from your reality to make yourself feel better about your choice.
I’m still here. There’s no need to block me. Just be respectful, and I have no reason to respond or remind you of your reckless choices. Just do better.”
Over the weekend, Skip Bayless never let things slide as he dropped a reply to Nina Westbrook saying:
“Dear Mrs. Westbrook: Thank you for clarifying that I didn’t block you. I’ve never blocked anybody and never will. I welcome your criticism and appreciate your defending your husband. But I will continue to tell the truth as I see it.”
