When you make hot takes, they’re sometimes going to turn out very wrong, and those who you blast will often point that out. That’s the case for ESPN (for now) provocateur Skip Bayless, whose lack of belief in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s ability to win even a game against the Golden State Warriors was called out on Twitter by Thunder center Enes Kanter following Oklahoma City’s 108-102 win Monday night. Here’s what Kanter tweeted:

That’s one way to prove the critics wrong. It’s notable that Kanter’s tweet is already five times more popular than Bayless’ tweet, and still rising. Perhaps he should be added to the candidates to fill Bayless’ First Take spot?
