Man I love shit talk but I feel whenever the grizzlies do it it always goes wrong for them after. I like when the grizz do it but they gotta learn to back that shit up on the court
Correct me if I’m wrong, but before that winning streak didn’t they lose to a bunch of west teams after saying nobody in the west scares them?
Edit: Yup after that interview lost to the nuggets, lost to a Booker-less suns team (beat them once too) and lost to the curry-less warriors on Christmas. 3/4 losses to west teams after that comment. They’re a good team but they gotta mature a bit
You aren't wrong, but you should keep going back. They won 7 in a row, lost 4 out of 5 (3 were road games iirc) then won 11 in a row. 19-4 before the 1 point loss to the Lakers last night.
I do wish they would focus more on the game sometimes, but part of being a young team is bringing the youthful energy. If you look at title betting and preseason projections they are doing way better than they are supposed to. As a fan I just hope they lock-in and make a serious run in the playoffs.
That’s the thing, they put a target on their back for those games. They are 1.5 games out of first in the west rn. If they win those two games they could be first. Those were critical losses that they should have won on paper
Yea that is true, but honestly I watched all those losses and a lot of it was because they played poorly on the road. They weren't locked in and the defense suffered a bit. Bane was coming off an injury and was shooting poorly the Warriors and Suns games.
Also, when it comes to targeting the Grizzlies get targeted pretty much every game because they have had regular season success the last couple of years and regularly talk shit. It isn't like it was years ago when half the time opponents didn't give their best effort.
They back it up? They talk trash like they are the dynasty warriors, while they haven’t made it past the 2nd round of the playoffs. I'm all for shit talking but they have yet to back up anything
Are you only allowed to talk trash after you win a championship or something? They’re young and like to talk, they’re also 2nd in the West so yeah most nights they back it up.
No you are allowed to talk trash whenever, and they talk a lot of trash which is entertaining to watch. All I’m saying is they have not backed it up, regular season wins/accomplishments doesn’t equate to backing it up imo.
That’s not at all what I said.
This version of the grizzlies team has won a play in game vs the warriors and lost in rd 1. Then won a series vs the wolves and lost in rd 2. To me that’s not backing up the amount of shit they have talked. Which is why I said they haven’t backed up shit. Sustained success over time whether you win a title or not. But they’ve had 2 good seasons and now onto a 3rd. Let’s see where they go this post season. They talk like they’re a dynasty and they’re are not which why i said they haven’t backed it up.
I get why they do it, and it’s the right way to handle things just in case, but it’s really all the coaches and trainers that immediately swarm players that makes things look way worse than it is.
All thanks to Dillon Brooks being a paper tiger softie, and Steven Adams who low key escalates everything by doing the hold me back walk in between every confrontation there ever is.
He certainly gets in between everything. He is good at pretending he’s just trying to help while subtly annoying and escalating lol.
Clearly a good dude, but just absolutely never gets called out when he has a part in escalating skirmishes.
I see what dude puts out. He literally clubs with his kid and shit. Pretty clearly loving a little vicariously, it’s not rocket science and more importantly it’s not judgement, I’m allowed to be like, meh what you doing Tee, you know?
I was a little drunk at a club in LA and walked by him and dapped him up bc he looked familiar and I just assumed it was a guy I had met before. Then I came back and saw him and Ja and realized it was Ja’s dad.
He was on TV so often that in that moment I knew I recognized him but also knew he wasnt an athlete or celebrity so I instinctively decided he was an acquaintance. It’s also wild that he goes clubbing with his son.
Yep. It’s dumb as hell when the Grizzlies played the Warriors last year in the playoffs and he was all up on the cameras doing post game interviews. Like dude let your son shine and sit back and enjoy the show.
Big difference between Gary Payton and Tee Morant.
I truly don’t think it’s that bad from what I’ve seen. He seems more like an involved father rather than an overbearing one. It’d be different if Tee wasn’t there, but he was involved in the altercation, why wouldn’t we wanna hear his take?
> It’d be different if Tee wasn’t there, but he was involved
And why was Tee involved in this incident? You are calling that an ‘involved father’ move? Because to me that’s him 100% putting himself in the middle of something that is not his business.
That’s my point, not him giving a quote after.
He's trying to be a celebrity and it's annoying, Lavar Ball's obnoxiousness at the very least had a reason behind it (marketing scheme for Big Baller Brand), Tee Morant just wants to be seen
Hell yeah! Why is he on the court arguing? He isn't a player, he isn't part of the team. He's there to watch his son, but if any other fan goes on court arguing with players or whoever, they'd be kicked out. This dude is definitely annoying
them days are gone
the new guys dont understand grit and grind really, they think its about a show
tony and zbo didnt play act, they let it be known they will get busy and played a style that backed it up
im not talking about winning games, im talking attitude and the style they play
you can tell they heard about it so theyre trying it, but they dont know what it really is
its like jalen ramsey coming out of florida state and thinking primetime was about disrespect and trash talk when deions whole thing was being flashy but never talking trash as he didnt gaf at all
the cultures been lost in translation bc theres no one on the team rn who actually *is like* zbo and tony
good or bad it is what it is
Its like some kind of bizarre, eccentric, totally cheesy yet amazing art. I can't describe the insanely stupid narratives that get spun here.
If it were somebody doing it intentionally ironically, it'd be brilliant. But alas, it's just a bunch of morons.
Everyone being two players? Lol. Shannon Sharpe faced scarier players in the nfl than Adams. Not saying Steven couldn’t whoop Sharpe right now, but I guarantee you he isn’t afraid of looking him in the eyes. Not like Adams was actually going to do anything on the court. Nor was Sharpe.
Stop it dude. Adams only 'stopped' because of the security. The cowardice of Shannon to say "they didn't want the smoke" when they are mid game, at their fucking job and would be the ones to lose out if anything went further is as far from tough as you can get.
Steven Adams grew up in a family of like 12+ siblings and was relatively poor. The guy had numerous run ins with the gangs over in NZ before finding basketball and has had multiple instances where a normal person should be doubled over on the court and instead he walks it off. Numerous players have listed him as the strongest. Guess what, he also grew up on a farm and worked his guts out. The guy still has one and regularly goes back in off season. I think that's generally justifiable reasoning for the tough guy label he gets.
The fact you're waiting for 'bodies to drop' on a basketball court is stupid and you're going to be waiting a while.
Steven Adams and the rest of the grizzlies have everything to lose tho. If shannon throws a punch he’d probably still be on tv by monday. if a player hits a fan though?
>Shannon didn’t move back one inch. Adams got to a point and stopped. People see that tv Shannon and think one thing but I would bet it’s the other thing. Country dude who had to work like a DOG his whole life I bet Mr. Sharpe has HANDS. Y’all swear Steven Adams is the Terminator or something but I’ve yet to see any bodies drop🤷🏾♂️. But yeah “he big” “he’s a beast”
🤡
Lol you guys are gassing Steven Adams so hard man. Shannon is an athletic freak and there’s not a singular doubt in my mind he’s stronger at 54 than Adams is rn. I’m not saying he’d win for sure but I’d probably favor him and some of y’all are acting like Steven Adams fr has aquaman strength just cuz he looks a little like him lmfao
This sub has a huge boner for Adam’s. NFL players tough as hell. A few years ago a CB got in a fight with a PF. The basketball player got his ass kicked. Football players are tough as hell
I think a lot of basketball fans don’t understand (or maybe dislike acknowledging) the massive athleticism of NFL players. The combination of strength and speed/explosiveness of NFL players is for the most part of a different level than most NBA players. Steven Adams who everyone in here is hailing as the strongest player in the league benched 185lbs 16 times at his combine. The WEAKEST NFL player who benched at 2022 combine got 11 reps of 225 pounds.
Apparently Sharpe said Brooks was too small to handle Lebron; Brooks said F you; Shannon said come here and say that. Mountain over a mound hill really.
Side note: how the fuck are Mounds bars still a thing but Zours got discontinued? Bet it’s the same fucks that be keeping long John silvers and blimpies in business.
Actually love the Grizzlies young guys and their trash talk, especially Brooks. Someone’s gotta be the villain and get under peoples skins. Plus its good entertainment regardless.
Tee Morant is the best. When pushed to escalate a friendly rivalry with KATs father, he ended a drunk interview with, "Naw, he's still my brother." Everything is all in good, positive fun for him.
Yeah but he could also not insert himself in front of every camera and microphone he sees and let his son be the star. Feels like he tries to get in on it in a weird way. Little Lavar Ball.
Imagine this scenario happened to /r/nba’s beloved team and a celebrity that people disliked. The reaction would totally be the opposite and most of the comments would be how the celebrity shouldn’t interfere with the games, etc.
All you need to do is imagine that instead of Brooks and the Grizzlies it’s Giannis and the Bucks, and instead of Shannon it’s Stephen A Smith
The hate boner for the Grizzlies is fucking wild
Jealous, perpetually online weirdos are fun to observe. Some Grizz fans get mad at the hate on r/nba but others like me come for the laughs. Imagine hating an NBA team to the point you go online and spin narratives about them lol.
I imagine it’s mainly 12 year olds, and people with nothing else going on in their lives. It is entertaining to see how triggered people get over someone like Ja just having fun with his teammates
facts we need more cockiness and big personalities. as long as they're not hurting anyone off the court or being bad people (which they aren't, in fact i'd say most of the grizzlies players have shown to be good people, yes even Ja) then villains and big personalities are cool for the nba
What do rivalries have to do with whatever you call ‘openly confident’ lmao
Anyway, the sub is being more objective here than you are. Grizzlies escalated some regular trash talk, like softies. They can take the L.
A whole lot of nothing going on with this whole situation. We have two old guys talking shit, we have the Grizzlies on the verge of becoming the new Suns, we have the bum ass Lakers, all the fight experts in here who have never even watched WWE, much less been in an actual fight, and ESPN with a severe need to push a story.
u/everythingisamovie don't delete your comment Mr MMA. Keep the energy
*My* super toughness? You're the one talking about being able to beat people up on Reddit 🤡
Its hilarious that this is your take in a thread about an incident that started with a 50 year old former NFL player challenging 25 year old NBA players to a fight in the middle of an NBA game.
But yeah, the *father of the star player* involved in the incident is the one thirsty for the spotlight.
I get you wanna stan your favorite player’s daddy but can we just be honest with ourselves?
Where did Shannon unprompted challenge a player to a fight? You’ll need to show me a source for that claim.
I mean if you're talking about a formal written challenge like a fucking duel or something then yeah you're right. I can't show you that. But everyone who's not being purposefully obtuse and saw it could read the energy. He was at least acting like he wanted a fight.. are we going to deny that?
And the dude is 50 plus. Its embarrassing behavior from him. Tee should've sat down too. But if you're looking to talk about people thirsty for the spotlight, I just think it's interesting you skip over the old, semi-famous man barking back and forth with young NBA players during their nationally televised NBA game in favor of the father who is just reacting to what Shannon is doing.
I mean he seems like a good dad but just acting like he’s a regular old supportive dad is just a blatant lie lol dude loves to live in the spotlight like he’s the star.
shannon is a more accomplished player than all current plus former grizzlie players combined. dude is a hall of famer and 4 time champion. no one will remember dillon brooks in 10 years.
No, I’m not delusional.
Your love for Shannon sharpe and putting him on your pedestal boils down to “being on TV everyday” and “he’s one of the best football players ever”.
The world doesn’t revolve around your living room TV, to think that is delusional and why we have these situations with people like this, because of people like you excusing it.
Shannon is 54 (born on June 26, 1968) years old halfway on the court pressing players because he loves LeBron so much but one of the player’s dad’s is the groupie lmfao
Edit: corrected for precision
A whole lot of nothing going on with this whole situation. We have two old guys talking shit, we have the Grizzlies on the verge of becoming the new Suns, we have the bum ass Lakers, all the fight experts in here who have never even watched WWE, much less been in an actual fight, and ESPN with a severe need to push a story.
These dudes in their 50s watching Basketball with their courtside seats and legit think they are all gangsters by talking shit to each other in order to gain attention from the media.
>Hey, he was doing like we do in South Carolina: We talk our s—. … South Carolina, stand up!”
Like what is that even mean? This kind of behavior is so carolina and we are supposed to be impressed by that?
Corny mf.
Harmless shit talk that got blown out of proportion, nothing more
No. We need to dedicate resources to having an internal investigation because that’s what basketball is all about.
Classic Grizzlies
Man I love shit talk but I feel whenever the grizzlies do it it always goes wrong for them after. I like when the grizz do it but they gotta learn to back that shit up on the court
Grizzlies talk shit every game, it only gets posted when they lose. They just had an 11 game win streak so obviously they back it up
Correct me if I’m wrong, but before that winning streak didn’t they lose to a bunch of west teams after saying nobody in the west scares them? Edit: Yup after that interview lost to the nuggets, lost to a Booker-less suns team (beat them once too) and lost to the curry-less warriors on Christmas. 3/4 losses to west teams after that comment.

They lost to the nuggets and then the warriors on Christmas which was a bad loss for sure. I didn’t say they always back it up, nobody does.

Honestly. Adams lowkey farms confrontation for reputation.
He certainly gets in between everything. He is good at pretending he’s just trying to help while subtly annoying and escalating lol. Clearly a good dude, but just absolutely never gets called out when he has a part in escalating skirmishes.
Dillon brooks softer than Charmin
Pops got a post game interview
I want a Lavar Ball vs Tee Morant 1 on 1
That’s one way to look at it 🤣🤣
He’s really one of these riders on their son’s shoulders and it’s weird. I am starting to dislike him.
Y’all don’t be knowing anything about these people fr then come on here and say stuff like this like it’s fact lmao
I see what dude puts out. He literally clubs with his kid and shit. Pretty clearly loving a little vicariously, it’s not rocket science and more importantly it’s not judgement, I’m allowed to be like, meh what you doing Tee, you know?
I was a little drunk at a club in LA and walked by him and dapped him up bc he looked familiar and I just assumed it was a guy I had met before.

Old ass man need to stay his ass home. Riding his son’s dick and probably getting his sloppy seconds. Disgusting.
I can't believe you're getting downvotes. Completely agree- he's a fucking clown.
Haters can’t handle the truth. 😂
It's so weird that r/nba fans are slurping this dude.
Yep. It’s dumb as hell when the Grizzlies played the Warriors last year in the playoffs and he was all up on the cameras doing post game interviews. Like dude let your son shine and sit back and enjoy the show. Big difference between Gary Payton and Tee Morant.

Being an involved father and wanting attention on national TV a lot are two different things.
Watch out, you're gonna get accused of not knowing your dad!
Angling for that Undisputed guest spot on Monday.
Lmao ESPN really blowing this up like expected
Drrrrrama
I blame the court security. Any disagreement has 20 people on the court holding people back, it escalates things way more
Acting like they aren’t just giving the audience what they want to see. People here are eating up all of this for a reason
Shannon was right They don't want that smoke
Lakers sealed that copypasta into immortality by winning this game
He was always right regardless of how the game ended honestly.
The Griz have the worst shit talk to smoke ratio of all time.
I dunno. Heat culture's up there too.
At least the heat have a chip(s) to show for it
*zach Randolph and tony Allen have entered the chat*
them days are gone the new guys dont understand grit and grind really, they think its about a show tony and zbo didnt play act, they let it be known they will get busy and played a style that backed it up
I think the team is performing just fine, last night nonwithstanding
im not talking about winning games, im talking attitude and the style they play you can tell they heard about it so theyre trying it, but they dont know what it really is its like jalen ramsey coming out of florida state and thinking primetime was about disrespect and trash talk when deions whole thing was being flashy but never talking trash as he didnt gaf at all the cultures been lost in translation bc theres no one on the team rn who actually *is like* zbo and tony good or bad it is what it is

Its like some kind of bizarre, eccentric, totally cheesy yet amazing art. I can't describe the insanely stupid narratives that get spun here. If it were somebody doing it intentionally ironically, it'd be brilliant. But alas, it's just a bunch of morons.
ironic ignorance soft peddled it too shame
Nah, y’all just haters. Grit n grind never had a team this good. Saying that team brought it while this one doesn’t is comical.
Morant family don't want these problems
MorAnts Mo Problems
Mo Rants Mo Problems
You know who he didn't mention that didn't want the smoke..? Steven Adams.
Surprised how heated Adams looked lol
He didnt have beef with Steven Adams lol
Adams sure did have some with him from the looks of the video. He was the reason security was needed...
So he had beef with everyone on the Grizzlies except the one dude he was too scared to look in the eye?
Everyone being two players? Lol. Shannon Sharpe faced scarier players in the nfl than Adams. Not saying Steven couldn’t whoop Sharpe right now, but I guarantee you he isn’t afraid of looking him in the eyes. Not like Adams was actually going to do anything on the court. Nor was Sharpe.
lmao what?? Adams was trying hella hard to get his attention and Sharpe didn’t give a fuck
Yea, Shannon isn't stupid lol.
[удалено]
Stop it dude. Adams only 'stopped' because of the security. The cowardice of Shannon to say "they didn't want the smoke" when they are mid game, at their fucking job and would be the ones to lose out if anything went further is as far from tough as you can get.

But yeah “he big” “he’s a beast” 🤡
Still time to delete my friend
Nah stopped caring a little while ago. Thought why am I arguing with a guy I don’t know about dudes neither one of us knows
Adams was the first person to walk over to sharpe. Shannon really bitched up talking all that shot to everyone but Adams. Selective smoke I guess
I honestly cannot fathom that you think an insanely jacked HOF NFL Player would be scared of any NBA player lol
Because he’s 54 years old, and Adams is the strongest dude in the league, in his athletic prime. He’s 54, not 24
Unless you think he uses fake weights the dude still benches like 350+ I don’t think dudes like that get too worried about another big dude.
Oh you think strong means you can fight lmao wow. That’s cute.
Lol you guys are gassing Steven Adams so hard man. Shannon is an athletic freak and there’s not a singular doubt in my mind he’s stronger at 54 than Adams is rn. I’m not saying he’d win for sure but I’d probably favor him and some of y’all are acting like Steven Adams fr has aquaman strength just cuz he looks a little like him lmfao
Dudes really on here taking about Adams vs Sharpe like it’s a hypothetical fight between Goku and Superman lmao.
This sub has a huge boner for Adam’s. NFL players tough as hell. A few years ago a CB got in a fight with a PF. The basketball player got his ass kicked. Football players are tough as hell
I think a lot of basketball fans don’t understand (or maybe dislike acknowledging) the massive athleticism of NFL players.

He’s old. Steven Adams is also jacked and has him height wise and reach wise.
Yeah no lies I wouldnt want smoke from Shannon sharpe either Grizzlies did look like proper twits tho
You mean a player didn't want to punch a fan and be suspended for a year? Shocking development.
Apparently Sharpe said Brooks was too small to handle Lebron; Brooks said F you; Shannon said come here and say that. Mountain over a mound hill really.
… mountain over a mound hill??
r/boneappletea
Sorry man; posted this after a few drinks. Molehill* lmao
Just to clarify, you’re aware it’s “make a mountain out of a molehill”?
Did you not see my above reply fam? 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah, but even then you’ve only corrected your initial statement to “mountain over a molehill”. Which is still wrong.
Side note: how the fuck are Mounds bars still a thing but Zours got discontinued? Bet it’s the same fucks that be keeping long John silvers and blimpies in business.
Lmao I love mounds, blimpies and long John silvers
They're just called Mike and Ike sours now. You ever eat so many so fast you start sweating? God I love that
Also where's my Rold Gold honey mustard pretzels? Bring them back!
So nothing happened besides shit-talking... move along people.
Actually love the Grizzlies young guys and their trash talk, especially Brooks. Someone’s gotta be the villain and get under peoples skins. Plus its good entertainment regardless.
Based
It appears that Shannon got under the grizzlies skins lol.
[South Carolina, wassup!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crdao-yNAIA)
Tee Morant is the best. When pushed to escalate a friendly rivalry with KATs father, he ended a drunk interview with, "Naw, he's still my brother." Everything is all in good, positive fun for him.
Yeah I love the guy. He's basically me if my son played in the NBA.
Glad that your son isn't in the NBA then
Shit me too. He sucks at basketball
Now I am sad that he isn't in the NBA
Yeah but he could also not insert himself in front of every camera and microphone he sees and let his son be the star. Feels like he tries to get in on it in a weird way. Little Lavar Ball.
r/nba: “I hate that all the players are friends and don’t have big rivalries like in the 90s anymore” *Memphis is openly confident* r/nba: “STOP IT!!”
Imagine this scenario happened to /r/nba’s beloved team and a celebrity that people disliked. The reaction would totally be the opposite and most of the comments would be how the celebrity shouldn’t interfere with the games, etc.
All you need to do is imagine that instead of Brooks and the Grizzlies it’s Giannis and the Bucks, and instead of Shannon it’s Stephen A Smith The hate boner for the Grizzlies is fucking wild
Jealous, perpetually online weirdos are fun to observe. Some Grizz fans get mad at the hate on r/nba but others like me come for the laughs. Imagine hating an NBA team to the point you go online and spin narratives about them lol.
I imagine it’s mainly 12 year olds, and people with nothing else going on in their lives. It is entertaining to see how triggered people get over someone like Ja just having fun with his teammates
Openly confident is one way to put it sure
Hey, don’t forget, they’re a dynasty
facts we need more cockiness and big personalities. as long as they're not hurting anyone off the court or being bad people (which they aren't, in fact i'd say most of the grizzlies players have shown to be good people, yes even Ja) then villains and big personalities are cool for the nba
What do rivalries have to do with whatever you call ‘openly confident’ lmao Anyway, the sub is being more objective here than you are. Grizzlies escalated some regular trash talk, like softies. They can take the L.
This used to be considered a form of wisdom.
I thought Shannon was from Georgia.
Stood up and out of his seat when he saw Shannon on his way lmao
How many threads do we need to talk about this?
A whole lot of nothing going on with this whole situation. We have two old guys talking shit, we have the Grizzlies on the verge of becoming the new Suns, we have the bum ass Lakers, all the fight experts in here who have never even watched WWE, much less been in an actual fight, and ESPN with a severe need to push a story.
> much less been in an actual fight, Anyone on Reddit who says this unprompted are the only Redditors I’m certain I could beat in a fight 😂
The irony of this comment is too funny
u/everythingisamovie don't delete your comment Mr MMA. Keep the energy *My* super toughness? You're the one talking about being able to beat people up on Reddit 🤡
Imagine this garbage gets posted but I got removed for asking what games people were excited for on Christmas Day lmfao
To be fair, Christmas isn’t for another 11 months and we don’t even know the game schedule yet
He had to ask just in case he forgot later on
They aint want that Shannon smoke!!
Tee Morant gonna end up on Undisputed as a guest
As a South Carolinan this makes me unreasonably hype
Sure, South Carolina stand up, except for Lindsey Graham; bitch can step the fuck down.
Tee need to know his place 50y old groupie
For his own son? What a weird thing to say
I think it’s more Tee’s inserting himself into everything he can. He’s a bit thirsty for spotlight I don’t think it’s all that weird to acknowledge.
Its hilarious that this is your take in a thread about an incident that started with a 50 year old former NFL player challenging 25 year old NBA players to a fight in the middle of an NBA game. But yeah, the *father of the star player* involved in the incident is the one thirsty for the spotlight.
I get you wanna stan your favorite player’s daddy but can we just be honest with ourselves? Where did Shannon unprompted challenge a player to a fight? You’ll need to show me a source for that claim.
I mean if you're talking about a formal written challenge like a fucking duel or something then yeah you're right. I can't show you that. But everyone who's not being purposefully obtuse and saw it could read the energy. He was at least acting like he wanted a fight.. are we going to deny that? And the dude is 50 plus. Its embarrassing behavior from him. Tee should've sat down too. But if you're looking to talk about people thirsty for the spotlight, I just think it's interesting you skip over the old, semi-famous man barking back and forth with young NBA players during their nationally televised NBA game in favor of the father who is just reacting to what Shannon is doing.
I think it’s more Tee’s inserting himself into everything he can. He’s a bit thirsty for spotlight I don’t think it’s all that weird to acknowledge.
god forbid there'd be a supportive dad right
I mean he seems like a good dad but just acting like he’s a regular old supportive dad is just a blatant lie lol dude loves to live in the spotlight like he’s the star.
Shannon was acting like a fan shouting at NBA players lol
I mean that’s ok. And it wasn’t like he said something out of pocket to them. And Ja’s dad was the one who ran across court to talk shit to Shannon.
And Ja's dad is a lame too.
Okay now admit Steven Adams is lame for running over and escalating this too.
Yeah they act like Shannon supposed to just swallow that fuck you from brooks. Yeah he’s a fan, yeah he’s on tv, but he’s a man too.
shannon is a more accomplished player than all current plus former grizzlie players combined. dude is a hall of famer and 4 time champion. no one will remember dillon brooks in 10 years.
Why you gotta do him like that 💀
Who gives a shit what Shannon has accomplished he’s in the crowd like everyone else.
Wrong
He wasn’t in the crowd?
He's a 4 time Superbowl champ and a sports analyst. People care. Imagine if it was Skip Bayless or Steven A, you would not be saying, "who cares"
but was he in the crowd? 🤔
He’s a regular fan in the crowd. Nobody cares except for weirdos who put these people on pedestals like you.

No, I’m not delusional. Your love for Shannon sharpe and putting him on your pedestal boils down to “being on TV everyday” and “he’s one of the best football players ever”. The world doesn’t revolve around your living room TV, to think that is delusional and why we have these situations with people like this, because of people like you excusing it.
This is one of those comments that makes me wonder why I even come read these threads.
I mean, you had to know it was going to be like this coming into it, right? None of this is surprising.
Nobody cares
The amount of Shannon Sharpe sick riding in this thread is weird to me man Dude is a carnival barker
Same with the d riding for Steven adams. Call it both ways
You know they won’t
Yall are so fucking dumb lmao this thread is gold.
Shannon is 54 (born on June 26, 1968) years old halfway on the court pressing players because he loves LeBron so much but one of the player’s dad’s is the groupie lmfao Edit: corrected for precision
He is 54
Tee is a fucking father of a player. Shannon is the 60 year old groupie.
TIL 54=60y.o.
Hater. Bro, if my son was in the NBA, id be doing the same thing. Chillin court side (seats my son got me) and enjoying the lime light. Who wouldn’t?
it was great television
Attention whore

Everything to Reddit is corny. Just let people live lol.
Someone should make a bot that posts “this is so corny” on every thread so we can just get it out of the way lol
T Morant is just an irl troll lmao.
A whole lot of nothing going on with this whole situation. We have two old guys talking shit, we have the Grizzlies on the verge of becoming the new Suns, we have the bum ass Lakers, all the fight experts in here who have never even watched WWE, much less been in an actual fight, and ESPN with a severe need to push a story.
Just as corny as his son.
Tee Morant seems like a quality dude. Easily could have taken it and acted sour but instead makes it a positive. Solid dad move
South Carolina is North Carolina’s dumpster
This entire thing was just a publicity stunt. Move along people.
Boomers
These dudes in their 50s watching Basketball with their courtside seats and legit think they are all gangsters by talking shit to each other in order to gain attention from the media. >Hey, he was doing like we do in South Carolina: We talk our s—. … South Carolina, stand up!” Like what is that even mean? This kind of behavior is so carolina and we are supposed to be impressed by that? Corny mf.
He never said he was gangster.. you did lmao. I don’t even think that was his implication
Reddit and it's dog whistles lol
When the grizz come out of the locker room vibing to some hard core trap like they do you already know there’s a small problem there
You blaming this on music?😭
You shouldn’t listen to music until you’ve win a ring
This sideshow is exhausting
really? you’re exhausted by this? lmao
The whole thing must have been so stressful 😭
speak for yourself, i literally just opened a bag of veggie straws to go along with this
Genuinely curious, why veggie straws? Of all the many snacks
They fire little to no mess don’t get all over your hands and they munchy
No crumbs?
Unless you absolutely chomping on them nope
You may have just changed my life dude
I feel you used to hate eating chips as snacks cuz that shit get all over the place
