As said above, he has attracted a lot of scrutiny for his showings. NFL legend Shannon Sharpe, too, has joined the chorus. Sharpe, along with sports analyst/newscaster/supreme troll Skip Bayless co-hosts a show called “Undisputed”.

There, they talk about the daily happenings occurring in the world of sports. When James Harden came up, both came to a rare agreement that he looked “washed up”. Bayless commented on Harden’s social life thereafter. He stated, “How many 4 am cheeseburgers you think James Harden has downed in his career?”

To which Shannon Sharpe responded, “Cheeseburger, wings…I ain’t gonna lie they got some good food in the clubs.” He mentioned that he only heard it. Sharpe went on Twitter and said, “I’m not snitching on myself” with some laughing emojis.

Both Skip and Shannon are known for their outrageous takes. Shannon, himself, was a football player for the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens. He has often defended LeBron James on the show and calls him as his “GOAT”.
