Skip Bayless found himself at the center of a social media storm after his X account was hacked. The hacker wasted no time posting a series of provocative and now-deleted tweets that left NBA Twitter in a frenzy.
Bayless, known for his strong opinions and often controversial takes, became the target of a hacker who seemed intent on mocking him. The hacker’s posts ranged from inflammatory comments about Bayless’ personal life to taunts about his inability to reclaim his account quickly. One particularly harsh tweet read,
“btw skip talks to escorts in his twitter dms i do think hes really lonely and needs some soul searching, poor guy”.
The hacker also dragged Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James into the mix, posting,
“I just wanna apologize to Lebron, he owns me. Im just an old cuck who has nothing going on with his life. Im sorry king lebron”.

This tweet, along with others, seemed to play on Bayless’ well-known criticism of James, adding an ironic twist to the hack.
Fans on NBA Twitter were quick to react, with many expressing amusement at the hacker’s audacity. Some speculated that the hacker might be a die-hard LeBron fan, taking the opportunity to make Bayless acknowledge James in a positive light for once.
Despite the disruptive nature of the hacking, some followers found it entertaining that Bayless was the recipient of a similarly provocative style.
