Dr. Skip Bayless Has Logged On to Diagnose Klay Thompson
By Kyle Koster
Klay Thompson suffered torn ACL late in the third quarter of Game 6 of the NBA Finals. He returned to shoot free throws but then went back to the locker room.
Skip Bayless, who to my knowledge does not possess a medical degree, has logged on to tell us all that the Golden State Warriors are overreacting to the situation by keeping Thompson out of the game. The idea is what happened to Kevin Durant simply can’t happen again.
Oh, noooooooooooo. If not for the KD situation, Klay obviously would try to tough it out and play. This is such overreaction.

Klay Thompson was RUNNING AND JUMPING on his knee. ESPN reported that he told his father he did not hear anything pop. He obviously should be allowed to give it a go.

If you’re thinking, hey this is pretty reckless speculation, you may not be surprised to learn Thompson left the arena with crutches just a few minutes after the aspiring medicine man weighed in.

Very cool stuff.
UPDATE: Thompson tore his ACL. Tore his ACL. Do not, under any circumstances, consult Bayless with your medical queries.
