Former NFL star and mega TV personality Shannon Sharpe got into a heated tussle with Ja Morant‘s father, Tee Morant, and Steven Adams during the NBA game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers. Sharpe turned up for another LeBron James game this week only to create a controversy of his own at the Crypto.com Arena. In the end, the Lakers edged past the Grizzlies 122-121 in a nail-biting contest.
Sharpe and Tee Morant got into a fight with each other at halftime before the two had to be separated by the security and the referees. While the two didn’t indulge in any physical tussle, they were seen jawing at one another in the stands when the Grizzlies led on the scoreboard. The two continued shouting at each other even as security separated them.
As seen in the footage, Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks yelled in Sharpe’s direction while walking back to the Grizzly’s bench. Sharpe, an athlete himself, didn’t take it well, yelled back at Brooks, and motioned for him to come toward him. This led to Grizzlies center Steven Adams approaching Sharpe, and within seconds, things started to heat up. Sharpe was at the stadium to root for LeBron James and the Lakers and during this incident, it looked like Sharpe was ready to take on the Grizzlies alone for the Lakers.
Amidst all this, Tee Morant approached Sharpe out of nowhere and exchanged words with the NFL Hall of Famer, sitting court-side. The two got into a heated exchange, and this was when the security had to budge and separate them.
