Shannon Sharpe sticks his neck out for Lakers star LeBron James, after season full of shortcomings

We have to start cutting LeBron James some slack.

At 37-years-old, this man is still managing to put up some all-time great performances. Heck, the man is even consistently doing this on an injured ankle or knee throughout the season.

In any other case, the fact that a player is managing to play so well, so late on in his career, would be celebrated. But, the man has been more criticized than anyone else, perhaps in the history of sports, period.

It’s about time someone of significance stood up for the star within the NBA community. And a recently, a certain man, by the name of Shannon Sharpe found himself to be the man to do so.

Let’s get into it, shall we?
