"Shannon Sharpe and Charles Barkley are overrating Luka Doncic! He isn't a superstar!": Skip Bayless bashes Mavericks star for his shooting and defense, gets called out by NBA Twitter

FS1 analyst Skip Bayless disregards Luka Doncic as a superstar, gets called out by NBA Twitter for his hypocrisy

Last night, the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Phoenix Suns, going down 0-2 to start the series. Luka Doncic scored 35 points and tried to will his team to a win. However, the backcourt combo of Devin Booker and Chris Paul was too overwhelming for the Mavericks.

The Suns also managed to lock down Luka to just 11 points in the 2nd half, after he had a huge 24-point first half. Luka was restricted to only 8 FG attempts in the 2nd half and he turned the ball over 4 times. While Charles Barkley and Shannon Sharpe have called Luka a superstar for his performances so far, Skip Bayless does not agree.

NBA Twitter calls out Skip Bayless for his ‘b*llsh*t’ take on Luka Doncic

Skip Bayless has become a miss factory with some decent takes every now and then. He’s made a career out of hating on players. With LeBron James out of the playoffs, Skip has been looking for any and every player to pick on.

His latest take on Luka Doncic did not sit right with a lot of people, and rightly so. NBA Twitter gave their reactions to the same.
