Shannon Sharpe is one of the best sports talk personalities in the game right now. Overall, he is the reason why Undisputed is even watchable. Were it not for him, Skip would be painful on his own. However, this has not come without a bit of controversy. On top of some of his run-ins with Skip on the show, Shannon found himself at the center of an issue with none other than the Memphis Grizzlies. While sitting courtside at a game, he began chirping with Dillon Brooks. Subsequently, numerous players got involved and it made for an iconic courtside moment.
Since that time, Shannon Sharpe has apologized for his behavior. He made it crystal clear that what he did was not good and that he hopes to learn from what he did. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies went on a bit of a losing streak after the altercation. Overall, fans were excited about this as the public turned on Ja Morant and the Grizz. Although, on Tuesday night, the Grizzlies took down the Lakers who are in a fight for a playoff spot. After the game, their social media person made sure to hand Sharpe a swift L.
Shannon Sharpe Takes The L
In the tweet up above, you can see a picture of Shannon Sharpe from that fateful night in Los Angeles. In the picture, he is pointing toward the court. However, the image has been edited to depict an L at the end of Sharpe's fingertips. It is all very clever and especially petty. Although Sharpe might not be a fan of these tactics, the Grizzlies fanbase will certainly be cracking a smile or two today.
For the Grizzlies, this win is especially bittersweet because now, the Lakers have a much harder road to the postseason. These two teams clearly do not like one another, and that has been made apparent. However, there is a very real possibility that they meet each other in the first round. If that happens, we will have narratives and hot takes for days. Let us know what you thought about last night's game, in the comments section down below.
