Basketball games are exciting, with teams competing with each other and giving their all in the arena. Things sometimes get fired up in the arena resulting in fights between players and, on many occasions, with the spectator.
However, things might take unexpected turns if the spectator is a renowned former football player and a media personality. This is the story of Shanon Sharpe, who went down to watch the Lakers play against the Grizzlies.
Shanon Sharpe supported the Lakers in the Friday game, who won with just a point. Yet, in between the match, Sharp could be spotted exchanging some words with Brooks. Afterward, the scene was not so friendly as the Fox Sports personality yelled at Morant. The player immediately heard his screaming voice of Sharp and walked up to him to settle things once and for all. He was not alone; his teammate Steven Adams came forward to protect his mate.
