Skip Bayless has sent some terrible tweets over the years, but his latest one about Tyrese Haliburton might be his worst.
Bayless is still active on X nearly a year after his time at FS1 unceremoniously ended. In order for something he posts to go viral, he usually throws some outlandish words out there.
That’s exactly what happened during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, when Bayless went on X to question the legitimacy of Tyrese Haliburton’s calf injury moments before he hurt his leg so badly that he needed to be helped off the court and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Bayless started by sarcastically posting that Haliburton looked “SO HURT.”
Minutes later, Skip Bayless paid Haliburton a backhanded compliment about his impressive start by suggesting that the Pacers had planted an “injury excuse” and the media had “swallowed it whole.”
The Pacers brilliantly took the big-game pressure off Haliburton, who routinely no-shows, by planting the "injury excuse" that the media swallowed whole.

The Thunder went on to a 103-91 win to secure the NBA championship.
Haliburton couldn’t walk and eventually needed to be helped off the floor to the Pacers’ locker room.
After the game, Haliburton was on crutches and wearing a medical boot as he made his way gingerly through the tunnel.
