Victor Oladipo and Jimmy Butler hate each other’s guts. The Heat All-Star can’t stand the former Pacers franchise player, so says Skip Bayless so it must be true. The outspoken media personality voiced that out on Undisputed earlier this sweek. “Both games he has not seen the light of play,” Bayless said on a recent […]
