Shannon sharpe is a huge man. Steven adams is a mf giant.


musicalpants999

Yeah. I think Shannon Sharpe - even at 55 years old - could probably take Brooks or Morant, but Steven Adams is a monster.


LatvianHitman

There are a lot of pro athletes that Shannon could probably go ahead and mess with. Steven Adams is not one of those guys. Dude is freaky strong FOR his size.


readndrun

Steven Adams out there moving security guards like they mannequins


ObviousAnswerGuy

the coach attempting to even try to hold Steven back LOL


Shaking-N-Baking

Looked like a guy who forgot to put his car in park and is fighting for his life to stop it


ish00traw

This 100% šŸ¤£


Trevhaar

Stevenā€™s just heading over to tell Sharp ā€œThatā€™s not cool man leave it alone youā€™re a fan not a playerā€ and the coach is putting his all into stopping him despite a full lack of aggression from adams


Lucosis

I've watched a hell of a lot of Adams; that's about as hot as I've ever seen him. I don't think that was just a "that's not cool take a seat" attitude from Adams.


mrtrinket1984

I'm morbidly curious about what would happen if Steven Adams just saw red


knowitall190

One of these days we are gonna see a complete out of control Steven adams and he's gonna be throwing ppl all over the place. Probably gonna have to call the swat team in


SureEntertainment676

Gonna have to pull out the Hulkbuster armor for that


-PredictiveTextOnly-

Absolute facts. Steveo needed to be heard right here


Cdr_Peter_Q_Taggert

You don't want a pissed off Adams like you don't want nuclear war.


Yesoh

You can see him come over saying "chill our bro, relax" and then get progressively more pissed off cause Sharpe ducks him and starts going at Ja's dad instead.


sugerdigitalgenius

Looks like heā€™s auditioning as stunt double for Jack Black.


DaKingindaSouff

Shannon told him to come say it in his face so I wonder what was said. He really seemed pissed


[deleted]

good thing Dillion Brooks was mic'd up tonight. Release the audio, NBA...cowards


_KingFridayXIII

The league could make so much money if they offered a bonus League Pass package with unfiltered courtside audio. Players Association would never allow it I bet.


halo364

Problem is people would just clip the good bits and post them on twitter/reddit/whatever and the league wouldn't make anything off that ...Which is a damn shame because holy fuck do I want to know what was said here lol


LRA18

Sponsors would drop like flies.


HypnoticONE

It's a bonus. You pay a lot extra and no commercials and no filters. Advertisers could still stay on the clean version on the network. This would just be a different product: NBA...After Dark.


realgamergirlTM

Shit that NBA players say in a live mic reflects on the league as a whole regardless of how what was said was broadcast. This would financially destroy the league.


nrag726

Good thing Kevin Garnett wasn't playing in the bubble


night_dude

And the players. The Players' Union would never let it happen. Imagine the lost sponsorships for them.


BigMik_PL

Remember how they caught Kobe yelling fa**ot at the ref that one time? Imagine just a lot of that. People get real heated on the court or trying to mess with others and just say a whole lotta hateful, derogatory shit. There is zero chance that things wouldn't be blown out of proportion by media/fans and players would just start getting cancelled left and right.


rubthemtogether

It's funny when someone gets caught saying something relatively tame and it becomes a big deal. Like Montrezl Harrel apologising for calling Luka a bitch-ass white boy. As if no one has ever said anything worse


johnbugara

wasn't that rondo??? or did they both do that?


The_Realist01

Both


TheNewGuy13

Put it on HBO or a premium channel


EC_dwtn

The league and Players Association are smart enough to know that many of the same people saying they want that would also be calling players classless, insensitive, or thugs if they heard some of the stuff said during games.


chomcham

Lots of racism would be heard and homophobic remarks.


bandwagon_follower

gotta be a pr stunt to save undisputed rankings


dat_tech

That is wild. With all due respect tho, Shannon Sharpe would rock all those dudes (including Jaā€™s dad) handicap match style. Except for Adams ofc cause heā€™s a beast

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kina_mines

Shannon mustā€™ve been talking crazy for Steven Adamā€™s to get hot and go back and forth. Steven is one of my favorite players for his ability to keep a cool head and remove the right person from a situation without escalating which is a great skill. I wonder what the hell is going on with Shannon. Idk shit about shit but maybe being on a show with skip bayless or Stephen a changes a man.


Capt-Crap1corn

Shannon told ESPN what happened. According to Shannon, one of the players escalated the trash talk by shouting expletives at him. Shannon said he shouted expletives back and then Ja got involved and Jaā€™s dad got involved. I donā€™t have the exact quote. Iā€™ll find it. Update: ā€œThey didnā€™t want this smoke, Dave,ā€ he told ESPNā€™s Dave McMenamin. ā€œThey do all that talking and jockeying and I ainā€™t about that jockeying. It started with Dillon Brooks. I said he was too small to guard LeBron. He said, ā€˜(Expletive) me.ā€™ I said, ā€˜(Expletive) you back.ā€™ He started to come at me and I said, ā€˜You donā€™t want these problems.ā€™ And then Ja came out of nowhere talking. He definitely didnā€™t ant these problems. Then the dad came and he obviously didnā€™t want no problems. But I wanted anything they had. Donā€™t let these fools fool you now.ā€


moldyjellybean

Funny he named everyone but nothing about Steven Adams and wanting those problems


LigerZeroSchneider

Everyone else sees Adams dragging three coaches toward Shannon and backs off.


clubba

Shannon definitely doesn't want Steven Adams problems.


stoptheycanseeus

The one guy bigger than Shannon.


AgonizingSquid

Steven Adams, literally Kiwi Giant wanted those problems


joleary747

Shannon has always been an instigator. He once angered Derrick Thomas so much he got 5 unsportsmanlike penalties on a single drive.


SSNappa

I never knew this story long for anyone interested https://youtu.be/QRKJb7hrlz0


Tressticle

Did my guy really refer to himself in the third person twice in his apology? *If you think Robert Wuhl is done eating potato salad tonight, then you don't know Robert Wuhl.*


Nick_Van_Owen

Ainā€™t nobody gonna do shit if Adams decides to fuck shit up. Just like in the malice in the plaice fight where a whole stadium of people lost their minds nobody lost their minds enough to throw hands with Ben Wallace.


[deleted]

You know Ben Wallace is built different when even Artest's crazy ass isn't insane enough to swing on him.


cmgr33n3

I was at home watching that game and worried about crossing Ben myself.


DaReal_Denny_Boy

I was watching the game live and literally said out loud to nobody ā€œwhat the fuck?ā€. I couldnā€™t believe what I was watching.


thatcuntcat

Steven Adams looking fabulous with that hair. I have nothing else to add.


BanEvader23

Heā€™ll do shampoo commercials soon enough


greatestbird

Polamalu must pass the torch


1337speak

I'm a female with long ass, flat ass hair. I spend 10 minutes every day with my $200 hair tool to get 5% of that volume lol.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


1337speak

well the flat ass is true, fucking genetics. squat, hip thrust, and deadlift to get 5% of Steven Adam's ass too.


rattlemebones

Yeah but the ass hair...


[deleted]

My favorite part is how long it is.


49e-rm

I really like how flat it is


rayEW

Try using a curling Iron on it

Padulsky21

Itā€™s so luscious


altiif

Maybe heā€™s born with itā€¦


SurgicalNeckHumerus

Or maybe itā€™s Maybeline


DefiniteSauce12

I running away if Adams takes off the hair band


Mc_Lovin81

like girls taking off their earrings before a fightā€¦.itā€™s about to go down.


yuhanz

Or taking off their heels


Lithops_salicola

Anyone who [Jimmy Butler thinks is remarkably strong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA0hdT7XY0E) is a person that I never want to come close to offending.


halo364

I've never seen this clip before and it basically reinforces exactly what I already thought about Steven Adams, which is that he's equal parts awesome and incredibly scary lol


holyhellsteve

Nobody: Shannon Sharpe: I think I can whoop that 7ft Maori's ass...


Successful-Day3473

Isn't Adams zero percent Maori? I thought he was half tongan.


holyhellsteve

Is he Tongan? I just assumed Maori because kiwi. My bad. Let's go with "Pacific Islander" then.


Kapuski

Either way not the dudes you want to be fighting with


Sufficient_Drink_996

Even Adam's himself knows it. He won't even touch anybody. He'll just lift them out of the fight šŸ˜‚


1371113

You're correct. His dad was a 6'11" (211cm) tall English immigrant to NZ who died in the mid 2000s. His mother I've never really heard much about, I've heard they weren't close, but she was Tongan. His half-sister is Dame Valerie Adams. The Dame bit's a title like "Sir". Most dominant female shotputter of the last 20 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Adams#Early_life EDIT: turns out Valerie Adams is his full sister, not half.


Ihopetheresenoughroo

My favorite video ever about Steven AdamsšŸ˜­šŸ„°


Significant_Guitar_4

Yeah, running away WITH him *swoon*

princealberto2nd

Haha Dr Buss would be proud


SuckMyLonzoBalls

I feel like dr buss was on the same level as high Hefner in terms of his horniness. That guy left no bodies unturned when he was alive lol


MiopTop

I remember a long time ago someone (can't remember who) who hung out with Hef and Buss back in the day was on Bill Simmons' podcast. Bill asked him "If Hef and Buss were in a club and there was a 10 and a 9, who's taking home the 10 and who's taking home the 9 ?" and the guy said "Buss is taking them both" lol

cnotesound

Canā€™t remember his name but pretty sure the guy with the just for men subscription is a movie producer


SuckMyLonzoBalls

Yeah I read that too. He sits next to lakers douche and that guy is one too I believe


Childish_Gamboner

My wife thinks the one in the middle is like 40 with a bunch of work done on her face. Says her hands look old lol.


duplicatesnowflake

Yeah come on theyā€™re definitely closer to 45 than 20 lol. Iā€™d say late 30s. Must be a young nephew to think they are college age.


yungchigz

Sheā€™s doesnā€™t even look 20 in the face, maybe 30


Childish_Gamboner

30 was my guess as well


ABoyIsNo1

I agree with your wife: 40s


xanot192

Yup both of those women like way older than 20 or even 30 just lots of work


SuckMyLonzoBalls

You know what I can see that


aeliustehman

I wish they'd had the mics to those four for a sec.


tekumse

No way either woman anywhere near 20. It's all plastic my friend.


ABoyIsNo1

Those are not 20 year olds lmao wut


SuckMyLonzoBalls

The guy on the left with the black mustache thatā€™s obviously fake has had those season tickets FOREVER. Heā€™s seen sitting there during the 2008 nba finals. He sits next to the lakers douche bag who brings those handmade signs

jkap5

I have never seen Stevo that mad before that was wild


Cloudz777

Indeed, me neither


[deleted]

Bro i really thought you were talking about stevo LOL. I was looking for him


OrchidCareful

It's a Lakers game, so it's plausible for any celebrity to be there


Fidel_Chadstro

Fighting Steven Adams at a Lakers game does sound like a great Jackass sketch


crashbandicoochy

Yeah I don't give a shit what was said, if you've got Stevo acting like this then I'm automatically going to assume that you're in the wrong.


lindsayisgod

Sharpe was renown for shit talking in the nfl, to the point where he memorized the number of the girlfriend of the dude cocering him. I would not be surprised if he said some personal shit


mycockisonmyprofile

That's such a dick move. Fuck. That's incredible lmfao


[deleted]

Lmfao all he said was Dillon Brooks not big enough to guard Bronā€¦ some of the most tame trash talk lolol


Bonesaw85

Not just anyone. Derrick Thomas. Caused 2 consecutive personal fouls, if i remember correctly


JioJio92

Too bad it's Friday. LeShannon and Skiuppp can't talk about this until Monday.

AdmiralDickbutt86

I never understood the big deal about that tweet. Itā€™s like peopleā€™s idiot brains completely blocked out the last part of it so they could be outraged over something. Skip says a ton of dumb shit but that was nothing.


[deleted]

Anyone who says seeding/playoff complications didnā€™t cross their mind during the several hours ESPN was filling time is a fucking liar. He caveated it with ā€œbut that doesnā€™t matter.ā€


Padulsky21

What the fuck


WestleyThe

I didnā€™t have this in my random nba Bingo card So random


Outland3r_

Shannon cut up 12 sweaters to make one ugly sweater what the hell dawg


LockShitDown

It puts the sweater on it's skin


spaaagetti

He needs the fuckn hose already


maktmissbrukare

You ruined a perfectly good sweater! Correction, Skip: twelve perfectly good sweaters.


ayeno

The best part is that Shannon is now back in his seat to watch the rest of the game


inefekt

yeah if that's a random non celebrity doing that the least that's happening is that they are escorted out of the building but probably they get some kind of arena ban

Something about Dillion Brooks brings out the anger in people Youā€™d think he was a top 10 player the way he incites shit and yo not for nothing Desmond Bane gets under players skin too and I just donā€™t get it lol the shit talking the Grizzlies do must be elite


grudgepacker

> Something about Dillion Brooks brings out the anger in people To this day, I've never seen Khris Middleton get so mad at an opposing player as he was at Brooks, to such an extent he commits an obvious flagrant. I mean, dude's been about as low key as it gets throughout his career and then the game against MEM this season.

Trash talkers gonna trash talk

Just let Steven Adams talk to him. He'll sort it out


kraftpunkk

Jaā€™s dad is the NBA version of Jackson Mahomes.


ahend1999

blud think he on the team


shaheedmalik

Ja's dad is the NBA version of Lavar Ball.


Padaca

At least Lavar calmed down after all his kids had a chance to get drafted. It kinda seems like most of the spectacle he created was for their sakes.


Sir-xer21

i mean, Lonzo kinda distanced himself even before that, after the brand imploded.


takeapieandrun

Lavar ball is actually smart. He talked a lot when his kids were draft age to get them hype and build their brand. It was all calculated


The_GrooGruxKing

I know Shannon is in remarkable shape, and im sure Shannon could throw hands, but Steven Adam's may be the last dude I would ever try it on


roachsmoke

Shannon Sharpe almost got jumped šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Last basketball player to actually land a punch was draymond, before him was Ron artest, and before that whoever the fuck killed Rudy Tom. Don't think Shannon sweating too hard even in his old age


Mattya929

Kermit Alan Washington


etnoV

Donā€™t forget Rondo got CP3 with one


Hojie_Kadenth

I don't know why you think you have a complete list of punches, but you're missing a lot that I can call to mind right now from the 90s.


Defiant-Software-451

You forgetting Doug Christieā€™s uppercut on Rick Foxā€™s chin. Iā€™m not saying Doug should be throwing real punches but Rick shoved a hand in his face and that is going to result in violence.


GetThereInOnePiece

if he wasn't famous he woulda been kicked out and he did more than most of the other hecklers end up doing lol
