Fans hit Skip Bayless with Spurs receipts after bizarre 22-minute Thunder video
The post Fans hit Skip Bayless with Spurs receipts after bizarre 22-minute Thunder video appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Oklahoma City Thunder have finally climbed the mountain. The Thunder won its first NBA Championship in franchise history on Sunday night, beating the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, 103-91. The game was somewhat marred by the devastating Tyrese Haliburton Achilles injury. But that did not stop fans and celebrities from giving the Thunder their flowers. Advertisement But in an interesting twist, former television personality and self-proclaimed San Antonio Spurs fan, Skip Bayless, posted a strange 22-minute video on X, formerly Twitter. In the video, Bayless is seen getting emotional, wearing an Oklahoma City Thunder hat. 'I am so elated, even though I am not showing it because I am so deflated. This is all so bittersweet,' Bayless said to open the video. 'My emotions are more mixed than the drinks my father used to drink, my drunk father back at that house I grew up in on 43rd Street in Oklahoma City. 'That little two-bedroom, one bath house with that drunk dad of mine,' he said while away from the camera. He would go on to lament Haliburton's injury and declare that this Thunder championship should be regarded as one of the greatest of all time. But one major problem, he sounds like the most bandwagon of bandwagon fans ever. Advertisement Fans noticed, too, replying to his tweet with receipts. 'I've been a Spurs fan since the Ice Man nights of the '70s. First time I've ever dreaded watching a Spurs game,' Bayless wrote in May of 2017. But that was far from the only one. A year prior, he even invoked the Thunder in reference to his Spurs fandom. 'As a Spurs fan, I'll be rooting like crazy for the Thunder to finish Dallas.' But X user A Different Conversation really brought it all home. 'Are you finally at that age where you've lost it? You were already cooked, but a 21 minute video, you being a Thunder fan all of a sudden, and now we gotta hear about your drunk dad 😬 wtf skip.' Advertisement Bayless was indeed raised in Oklahoma City. He was actually named John Edward but upon his nickname of Skip sticking, he eventually officially changed his name. It is somewhat confusing to see such a bizarre video. On one hand, Bayless appears to be opening up about his childhood trauma, expressing vulnerability. On the other hand, he has built a career as an attention-seeking, dramatized personality. So, it's hard to know how much of the displayed emotion was genuine. But one thing is clear. Any fan that suddenly jumps onto a championship bandwagon will always get called out for it.

JPEGMAFIA Saying 'Rap Fans Are F-cking Bored' With Drake Rapping About Women Gets Him Flamed On Social Media
No rapper's bars have been judged more harshly over the last few years than Drake's, but the piling on continues. Rapper JPEGMAFIA recently sat down with Billboard , and the topic of music's current state arose, with the discussion focusing on its convergence with hardcore. JPEG thinks that when that mashup happens, people's eyes will open and they'll realize they've been bored with current releases, and considers Drake a major culprit. 'We're yearning, we're tired. We don't wanna hear Drake complain about b-tches anymore. We don't f-cking care, he's 40. We need something different. I'm here to try to provide and cultivate that as much as I can because rap fans are f-cking bored,' he said. 'Their idea of doing something different is taking different sounding sh-t and throwing trap drums on it, and that's not what I'm here to do. I'm here to really f-ck you up. You get what I'm saying? And If I'm not, I did not do my f-cking job.' He then breaks down some of raps' other big names and the respectable sub-genres they fall into, and where he fits in, adding, ' Conscious rap has Nas, trap rap has Future, experimental rap is me. That's it.' Elsewhere in the interview, the Brooklyn-born rapper discusses his genre-bending process, most recently showcased on his 2024 effort, Lay Down My Life for You, and 2023's Scaring the Hoes with Danny Brown. It ultimately comes down to a broader perspective on how he views life as a whole. He continues, 'There's no f—king rules, especially not in the music industry. Everything is f—king made up.' Despite JPEG's attitude towards Drizzy, the Toronto rapper's music-making method likely isn't changing anytime soon. He's preparing a new album, reportedly entitled Ice Man , that OVO rapper Smiley says he's hard at work on. 'Even at the 'Nokia' video shoot, during a break, he had a bunch of producers and he was just recording,' Smiley said during a recent stream. 'He's in that crazy mode, right now.' Drake also confirmed to Adin Ross back in April that he's got some heat on the way, saying the album is a 'slap.' See how social media is reacting to JPEG's comments below.

‘Proper ick' – Gerwyn Price's on-stage antics divide fans as former World Darts champion torments Luke Littler again
GERYWN PRICE played up to his pantomime villain role at the Premier League Finals - but was no match for Luke Littler. The Ice Man rattled The Nuke early on at the O2 and let rip with his trademark screaming celebration at the oche. 3 3 3 Price belted out regular roars as the two players traded breaks, with the Welshman taking a shock 6-4 at the break. But reigning champ Littler stormed back to win a thriller 10-7 and book his place in the final. The 2021 world champion's emotional on-stage persona is a divisive subject among darts fans. He infamously wore headphones on stage in 2023 to block out jeers from the Premier League crowd. And he was met with a chorus boos from some among the 12,000 sell out at London's O2 on Thursday. Price wasted no time in breaking the Littler throw, letting out a huge roar and a fist bump towards his entourage. One fan immediately complained on X: "That scream Gerwyn Price does is a proper ick ur[sic] 40 bro." Another agreed: "Does anyone else feel as though Gerwyn Price was screaming well over the top in that game? I found it quite annoying tbh."

And a fourth said: "The Price roar is mega int it." Luke Littler and Luke Humphries play out 'best darts match ever' as Wayne Mardle says 'even they're finding it funny' Littler admitted after the match he "stormed off stage" after his slow start to the contest. He told Sky Sports: "When he hit the double five to go 6-4 up I took myself straight off stage, I needed to get myself up for it. "The first five or six legs I was nervous and going into the break 6-4 down was not what I wanted. "I knew, especially after last year, that I love coming on after a break so I relaxed myself and I got the job done. "I stormed off stage but that was just in my own head. I just had to. "I sat down and had a drink and cooled myself down and said 'You can do it'. I got the job done."
