LeBron James and the Lakers have found ways to keep winning. Over the course of their last 10 games, they have won 6, putting them in a good place ahead of the Grizzlies. However, so far in, the franchise has barely kept up, despite their opposition misfiring.

At several points during the match, things between the two teams got pretty heated. And as you’d expect, the fans got into it, right alongside their players too.
But then something very unexpected took place. Tee Morant, the father of Ja Morant got into it with Undisputed co-host, and Skip Bayless’s favorite person in the world, Shannon Sharpe.
And it’s fair to say that things got physical almost instantly.
Tee Morant and Shannon Sharpe needed to be separated, with Steven Adams shouting
Steven Adams is usually the guy to break up all fights. And given his physique, he usually succeeds.
Whether or not he gets involved or not though, one thing always remains consistent. He never gets heated.
However, when he saw Tee Morant and Shannon Sharpe go at it, the man apparently decided to make an exception.
Take a look at it all go down in the tweet below.

Yikes.
A doting father against the most loyal guardian of LeBron James. Perhaps we all should’ve seen this kerfuffle coming from miles away.
And yet we didn’t.
But, as if all this wasn’t enough, Shannon Sharpe decided to add just a little more spice to the whole situation.
Shannon Sharpe is ready for all the smoke coming his way from Tee Morant
Shannon Sharpe is a former NFL star, turned sports show host. In most cases, that’d mean the person would be all out of shape. After all their playing days are over, they have nothing to stay fit for.
But no. Shannon Sharpe is a strapping 6’2”, 228 lbs man. If he ever decided to be a bouncer, he could potentially be the scariest ever.
In comparison, Tee Morant stands at a 5’11” man that is relatively fit but with little to no muscular mass.
Sharpe being a bit merciful would probably be the morally right thing to do here. But he doesn’t really care.
Instead, here is what he told Dave McMenamin on the matter.

Tee Morant may have some moving to do before Shannon Sharpe loses his temper again.
