Skip Bayless believes that Kevin Durant should be enjoying his time at the Paris Olympics, especially after having such an amazing first game.
Instead, he is spending his time battling Keyshawn Johnson on Twitter.
Speaking on Tuesday’s “Undisputed,” Bayless said that Durant is the “thinnest-skinned superstar in the history of sports.”
He said Durant is one of the most talented players alive and should be proud of his career and not constantly bickering with people who criticize him.

This all started when Johnson made a hypothetical comment about Durant, Paul Pierce, and the Golden State Warriors.
He claimed that Pierce would have achieved the same things Durant did at Golden State, a statement that didn’t sit right with the Phoenix Suns star.
Bayless and Johnson think Durant misunderstood the comments or read too much into them.
They both said that there was no intention of offending Durant.
Durant’s social media response came just hours after he scored 23 points and went 8-of-9 from the floor during an Olympic game against Serbia.
It was a fantastic showing from Durant, whose status was questionable just hours before the big game.
Durant came out swinging and showed why he’s going to be such a vital part of the team moving forward.
This should be a time of celebration and joy for Durant, Bayless said.
He shouldn’t be concerned with what people say about him, particularly since he’s doing so incredibly at the Olympics.
Durant may have thin skin but he also clearly has so much talent and it’s been on full display during his time in Paris.
