James is a member of Team Sharpe.
Friday night at the Lakers-Grizzlies game in Los Angeles, Shannon Share and Tee Morant got into a heated disagreement courtside, and LeBron James sided with the NFL Hall of Famer and Fox Sports commentator.
“I ride with Shannon 365 days a year, 366 on leap years, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “Therefore, he’s my guy,” James told reporters following the game. “I’ve always had his back and he’s always had mine. Certainly, he can converse with the best of them
Sharpe and Ja Morant’s father, Tee, had to be separated at halftime due to their verbal altercation.
Video of the altercation depicted Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks shouting at Sharpe as he approached Memphis’ bench, with Sharpe responding and Brooks’ teammate Steven Adams also getting involved. As security attempted to diffuse the incident, Tee Morant approached Sharpe and exchanged words with him.
Sharpe told ESPN after the event, “They didn’t want this smoke.” “They do all that talking and jockeying, but I’m not interested in that. It was initiated by Dillon Brooks. I asserted that he was too little to defend LeBron. He said ‘F–k’ me I said, ‘F–k’ you back. I told him, “You do not want these problems,” as he began to attack me.

“Then, out of nowhere, Ja began speaking. He had no desire for these troubles. The father then arrived, and he plainly did not want any issues. I desired all they had. Don’t be duped by these fools.”
Sharpe and Tee Morant were seen embracing later in the game.
When asked about the altercation, Brooks informed reporters, “I ain’t talking about that.” You may question him. He is a blogger or whatever it is he does. I could care less about all of that.”
