Before the first half of the Grizzlies-Lakers game came to an end, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe found himself at the center of a confrontation.
Sharpe, who was sitting courtside, got in a shouting match with several players on the Grizzlies. It didn't take long for Steven Adams and Dillon Brooks to approach Sharpe.
While the referees and security team at Cyrpto.com Arena tried their best to break this scrum up, Ja Morant's father, Tee Morant, decided to get close to Sharpe.
Sharpe spoke to ESPN at halftime about this altercation. "They didn't want this smoke, Dave," Sharpe said. "They do all that talking and jockeying and I ain't about that jockeying. It started with Dillon Brooks. I said he was too small to guard LeBron. He said, 'F--- me'. I said, 'F--- you' back
He started to come at me, and I said, 'You don't want these problems.' And then Ja came out of nowhere talking. He definitely didn't want these problems. Then the dad came and he obviously didn't want no problems.
"But I wanted anything they had. Don't let these fools fool you now.Later in the game, ESPN's camera crew caught Sharpe and Morant shaking hands. It seems like they squashed whatever beef they had in the first half.
