Skip Bayless has made an outlandish claim or two (OK, at least three) in his time as an ESPN personality. Last week, while ripping Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, Bayless likened Westbrook's style of play to his own -- in high school.

"FYI: I started for high school team that lost in state finals. Coach didn't like me b/c I shot too much and he wanted me to be more PG." Bayless tweeted.

The yearbook contained stats of every player on the basketball team -- including Bayless. In 1969, Bayless didn't play a game for the varsity team, though saw time in JV. His senior year, Bayless saw action in 15 of the team's 22 games, scoring a total of 21 points and Northwest Classen went 20-2 on its way to the state finals.

Incidentally, Russell Westbrook has played in 302 games for the Oklahoma City Thunder (of the NBA), averaging 34.2 minutes, 19 points, 6.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds.

Why are we not surprised, and how stupid can you be??

Also, if ever there were a move about ESPN, Seth Green could play Skip.

1. This was thoroughly discussed this morning on the show.

In fact, they've gone into Help & Meta for the whole show pretty much.

2. Facts dismiss pretty much all of Skip Bayless' arguments
