Shannon Sharpe’s public apology causes fans to go bonkers on Twitter

The Friday night win against the Memphis Grizzlies was amazing for the Lakers fans, but seeing Shannon Sharpe animated on the courtside left many scratching their heads. In a recent edition of his show Undisputed, co-hosted by Skip Bayless, Sharpe gave a lengthy apology on how he should’ve reacted in the situation. Well, fans were somewhat astonished and intrigued by the immediate apology and expressed their thoughts on Twitter. Here are a few reactions.

The heated exchange was caused by the banter between Sharpe and Grizzlies star Dillon Brooks after which Ja Morant and his father jumped into the conversation to dilute it or get a word in. Whatever their conversation was, it wasn’t pleasant. A lot of cuss words were thrown around and Sharpe and Tee had to be separated. Safe to say, such a commotion doesn’t suit any televised sport.
