Bayless called out for trumped up high school history


Skip Bayless was called out by Jalen Rose on ESPN for lying about his high school basketball career. Bayless was criticizing Oklahoma City’s point guard on Twitter. Bayless was pumping up his own credits as a high school point guard who finally learned that point guards should think "pass 12 times before they fire away.”
According to Bayless, he was the starting point guard for his high school team in Oklahoma that made the state finals.
People from The Last Ogle, along with Rose, did their research and found out that Bayless wasn’t even on the varsity squad until his senior year, only played 15 out of the 22 games his team played and no one on his team scored fewer points than Bayless did.

 Overall, this was an attempt for Bayless to get more attention and more followers on Twitter. The result backfired because Rose called him out on his lie and made Bayless seem less credible.
