Jalen Rose Called Out Skip Bayless's High School Hoops Fantasy And Bayless Confessed

After reports emerged yesterday that ESPN's Skip Bayless had grossly exaggerated his high school basketball career— claiming he started for a state finalist team when his own high school yearbook suggests he averaged just 1.4 points per game—First Take panelist and actual basketball star Jalen Rose chose a perfect moment to call Skip out on his boasting.

During a discussion of traditional basketball position roles, Rose prompted Bayless to confirm that yes, he averaged less than two points a game as a senior and indeed he did play on the J.V. team as a junior. While Bayless insisted he'd address the topic in full later in the broadcast, he didn't. Still, it's fun to watch Bayless's ashen-faced admission. [ESPN2]
