SS...maybe he didn't .....but I wish someone would(no not really),Skip is an arrogant, conceited, vain S.O.B maybe media personel like him but most of JQ public think he's an ass.
Well, he is a bit of an ass. But that's besides the point. Plus, he often says many of the same things JQ public says...and the rest of the time, JQ Public doesn't really hear what he's saying anyway
Cuban is right how the media gets hung up on stupid crap like: a team or particular player "wanted it more", and they run with it like it's a legit talking point over x's and o's.

It annoys me when anyone says that. There's no way of knowing

I think Cuban is great, but I don't really think he killed him.
Not sure if we saw the same video between him and Skip then but Skip got owned on national TV. He got exposed for being "entertainer" instead of doing his job and watching film like a good sports journalist probably should. (that is if you are going to be commenting on it personally)

Dude made Skip look like a clueless twit. (which he is)

You don't know Skip, so you probably shouldn't make an assumption on him.
But whatever, all I'm saying is...it's unfortunate the show (partly due to Skip's own doing) leads people to think Skip has no idea what he's talking about. I 100% guarantee you the conversation they had off-camera was totally different

I speak of Skip's on camera persona, not his off camera one. I don't know Skip so I'm not speaking of his actual knowledge in general. However, once he's in front of the camera, he turns into a clueless twit and makes comments about stuff he really doesn't know or understand, to which Cuban pointed out. I have mad respect for journalist that study film of the games they are commenting on and know what's going on before they comment on it.
edit: I don't doubt for a second their off-camera exchange was much much different.

He's a victim (again partly self-inflicted) of the show he's on. And that's all I'm going to say about that

Why would he do that to himself though? Hard to imagine a good journalist selling out on being the hated guy, just so he can be famous? (or that is what is appears)
I think a lot of guys in the media play roles for the sake of whatever show they're on.
