"He should have never come back in the game. "A regular pedestrian like him? No," Brooks said. When pressed if Sharpe's behavior was appropriate for someone attending the game as a fan, Brooks didn't hold back. "I ain't talking about that," said Brooks, who claimed he merely told Sharpe that James missed a shot when he was guarding him. Some of the Grizzlies' players were in a less jovial mood about the run-in, however. He can talk with the best of them, for sure." So I'll always have his back, and he's got mine. "I mean, I ride with Shannon for 365 days, 366 on a leap year, 24/7," James said after the game. James, who scored 23 points to draw within 260 points of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring mark, said he appreciated Sharpe's presence. Sharpe apologized to both teams and multiple players, including Brooks and James, during Monday's show. "Hey, he was doing like we do in South Carolina. "Shannon didn't do anything," Tee Morant told ESPN. The two embraced again after the final buzzer. Don't let these fools fool you now."Ĭameras later showed Sharpe and Tee Morant shake hands and hug at the end of the third quarter. Then the dad came and he obviously didn't want no problems. He definitely didn't want these problems. He started to come at me, and I said, 'You don't want these problems.' And then Ja came out of nowhere talking. "They do all that talking and jockeying and I ain't about that jockeying. "They didn't want this smoke, Dave," Sharpe said. Sharpe granted ESPN a brief interview on his walk back to his seat before the second half. Sharpe has appeared on the show wearing a goat mask and James' jersey, suggesting that James is the greatest player of all time, or GOAT, of the NBA. Part of Sharpe's persona on his show "Undisputed" is celebrating his unabashed fandom of Lakers star LeBron James opposite his co-host, Skip Bayless, a notorious James critic. Sharpe, who works as a commentator for Fox Sports, was escorted by security through the tunnel to a back hallway of the arena, where he stayed for halftime before returning to his seat for the third quarter. Referees and security intervened to settle the confrontation as several Grizzlies players - including Dillon Brooks, Steven Adams, Ja Morant and Morant's father, Tee Morant - gathered on the sideline opposite their bench at Arena to approach Sharpe.
