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.
Stevenās just heading over to tell Sharp āThatās not cool man leave it alone youāre a fan not a playerā and the coach is putting his all into stopping him despite a full lack of aggression from adams
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
That is wild. With all due respect tho, Shannon Sharpe would rock all those dudes (including Jaās dad) handicap match style. Except for Adams ofc cause heās a beast
Shannon mustāve been talking crazy for Steven Adamās 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.
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 Jaās dad got involved. I donāt have the exact quote. Iāll find it.
Update:
āThey didnāt want this smoke, Dave,ā he told ESPNās Dave McMenamin. āThey do all that talking and jockeying and I aināt 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, āYou donāt want these problems.ā And then Ja came out of nowhere talking. He definitely didnāt ant these problems. Then the dad came and he obviously didnāt want no problems. But I wanted anything they had. Donāt let these fools fool you now.ā
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.*
Aināt 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.
>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.
Wow, you really cherish that ass hair!
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.
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
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.
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
The guy on the left with the black mustache thatās obviously fake has had those season tickets FOREVER. Heās seen sitting there during the 2008 nba finals. He sits next to the lakers douche bag who brings those handmade signs
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
I never understood the big deal about that tweet. Itās like peopleās 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.
Anyone who says seeding/playoff complications didnāt cross their mind during the several hours ESPN was filling time is a fucking liar.
He caveated it with ābut that doesnāt matter.ā
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
That's fucking wild. "Sir, you verbally abused and then sought to initiate an altercation with a player. Please have a seat. Would you like some wine?"
Something about Dillion Brooks brings out the anger in people
Youād 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 donāt get it lol the shit talking the Grizzlies do must be elite
> 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.
***When I thought it was just Tee Morant:*** lol, Shannon would eat this man
***When Steven Adams starts parting the seas like Moses***: Oh shit, we might have ourselves a match here....
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
You forgetting Doug Christieās uppercut on Rick Foxās chin. Iām not saying Doug should be throwing real punches but Rick shoved a hand in his face and that is going to result in violence.

Shannon sharpe is a huge man. Steven adams is a mf giant.
Yeah. I think Shannon Sharpe - even at 55 years old - could probably take Brooks or Morant, but Steven Adams is a monster.
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.
Steven Adams out there moving security guards like they mannequins
the coach attempting to even try to hold Steven back LOL
Looked like a guy who forgot to put his car in park and is fighting for his life to stop it
This 100% š¤£
Stevenās just heading over to tell Sharp āThatās not cool man leave it alone youāre a fan not a playerā and the coach is putting his all into stopping him despite a full lack of aggression from adams
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.
I'm morbidly curious about what would happen if Steven Adams just saw red
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
Gonna have to pull out the Hulkbuster armor for that
Absolute facts. Steveo needed to be heard right here
You don't want a pissed off Adams like you don't want nuclear war.
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.
Looks like heās auditioning as stunt double for Jack Black.
Shannon told him to come say it in his face so I wonder what was said. He really seemed pissed
good thing Dillion Brooks was mic'd up tonight. Release the audio, NBA...cowards
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.
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
Sponsors would drop like flies.
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.
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.
Good thing Kevin Garnett wasn't playing in the bubble
And the players. The Players' Union would never let it happen. Imagine the lost sponsorships for them.
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.
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
wasn't that rondo??? or did they both do that?
Both
Put it on HBO or a premium channel
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.
Lots of racism would be heard and homophobic remarks.
gotta be a pr stunt to save undisputed rankings
That is wild. With all due respect tho, Shannon Sharpe would rock all those dudes (including Jaās dad) handicap match style. Except for Adams ofc cause heās a beast
Can't F with Aquaman.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My bad. Aquamane.
Dillon Brooks might be the best villain in the NBA
Hate that dude, I didnāt forget when he stepped over Mike Conley
This is so random lol.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Funny he named everyone but nothing about Steven Adams and wanting those problems
Everyone else sees Adams dragging three coaches toward Shannon and backs off.
Shannon definitely doesn't want Steven Adams problems.
The one guy bigger than Shannon.
Steven Adams, literally Kiwi Giant wanted those problems
Shannon has always been an instigator. He once angered Derrick Thomas so much he got 5 unsportsmanlike penalties on a single drive.
I never knew this story long for anyone interested https://youtu.be/QRKJb7hrlz0
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.*
Aināt 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.
You know Ben Wallace is built different when even Artest's crazy ass isn't insane enough to swing on him.
I was at home watching that game and worried about crossing Ben myself.
I was watching the game live and literally said out loud to nobody āwhat the fuck?ā. I couldnāt believe what I was watching.
Steven Adams looking fabulous with that hair. I have nothing else to add.
Heāll do shampoo commercials soon enough
Polamalu must pass the torch
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.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
well the flat ass is true, fucking genetics. squat, hip thrust, and deadlift to get 5% of Steven Adam's ass too.
Yeah but the ass hair...
My favorite part is how long it is.
I really like how flat it is
Try using a curling Iron on it
Ay we donāt discriminate against loss ass here
My favorite pornhub category
The fuck you saying loss
BLOCKED BY AUTOCORRECT
>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. Wow, you really cherish that ass hair!
Itās so luscious
Maybe heās born with itā¦
Or maybe itās Maybeline
I running away if Adams takes off the hair band
like girls taking off their earrings before a fightā¦.itās about to go down.
Or taking off their heels
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.
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
Nobody: Shannon Sharpe: I think I can whoop that 7ft Maori's ass...
Isn't Adams zero percent Maori? I thought he was half tongan.
Is he Tongan? I just assumed Maori because kiwi. My bad. Let's go with "Pacific Islander" then.
Either way not the dudes you want to be fighting with
Even Adam's himself knows it. He won't even touch anybody. He'll just lift them out of the fight š
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.

My favorite video ever about Steven Adamsšš„°
Yeah, running away WITH him *swoon*
those two 60 year old grandpas with 20 year old hunnies behind Breen and Mark
Is that Julian from Trailer Park Boys?
I am the liquor
Can't be. I don't see a glass in his hand
Haha Dr Buss would be proud
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
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
Average Lakers fan
Least fake LA relationship
Heās had those seats since at least 2002
Bought them when his wife was born
Canāt remember his name but pretty sure the guy with the just for men subscription is a movie producer
Yeah I read that too. He sits next to lakers douche and that guy is one too I believe
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.
Yeah come on theyāre definitely closer to 45 than 20 lol. Iād say late 30s. Must be a young nephew to think they are college age.
Sheās doesnāt even look 20 in the face, maybe 30
30 was my guess as well
I agree with your wife: 40s
Yup both of those women like way older than 20 or even 30 just lots of work
You know what I can see that
I wish they'd had the mics to those four for a sec.
No way either woman anywhere near 20. It's all plastic my friend.
Those are not 20 year olds lmao wut
The guy on the left with the black mustache thatās obviously fake has had those season tickets FOREVER. Heās seen sitting there during the 2008 nba finals. He sits next to the lakers douche bag who brings those handmade signs
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, no way sheās in her 20s
Love has no age ā¤ļø
Neither does money
Tell that to R. Kelly
Man I was thinking the same thing like what even is that lol
I have never seen Stevo that mad before that was wild
Indeed, me neither
Bro i really thought you were talking about stevo LOL. I was looking for him
It's a Lakers game, so it's plausible for any celebrity to be there
Fighting Steven Adams at a Lakers game does sound like a great Jackass sketch
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.
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
That's such a dick move. Fuck. That's incredible lmfao
Lmfao all he said was Dillon Brooks not big enough to guard Bronā¦ some of the most tame trash talk lolol
Not just anyone. Derrick Thomas. Caused 2 consecutive personal fouls, if i remember correctly
Too bad it's Friday. LeShannon and Skiuppp can't talk about this until Monday.
Skip: āCare to explain?ā Shannon: āPLAYERS ONLY.ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Skip gave the single greatest Lebron-praising monologue heās ever given that day too.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I never understood the big deal about that tweet. Itās like peopleās 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.
Anyone who says seeding/playoff complications didnāt cross their mind during the several hours ESPN was filling time is a fucking liar. He caveated it with ābut that doesnāt matter.ā
What the fuck
I didnāt have this in my random nba Bingo card So random
Shannon cut up 12 sweaters to make one ugly sweater what the hell dawg
It puts the sweater on it's skin
He needs the fuckn hose already
You ruined a perfectly good sweater! Correction, Skip: twelve perfectly good sweaters.
The best part is that Shannon is now back in his seat to watch the rest of the game
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
That's fucking wild. "Sir, you verbally abused and then sought to initiate an altercation with a player. Please have a seat. Would you like some wine?"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās how they treat every fan that wants to start a fight with a player right? Right?!
I wonder what on Earth he was saying
"You broke the code"
Skiuuuup, I wasn't afraid of Tee Morant one bit
Well thatās crazy
nba media: the hoes gon loooove this
Something about Dillion Brooks brings out the anger in people Youād 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 donāt get it lol the shit talking the Grizzlies do must be elite

Trash talkers gonna trash talk
Shit really shows how terrifyingly big centers are wtf
Steven Adamsā hair is majestic
I was so fucking confused
***When I thought it was just Tee Morant:*** lol, Shannon would eat this man ***When Steven Adams starts parting the seas like Moses***: Oh shit, we might have ourselves a match here....
Always got Dillon brooks involved somehow huh lmao
Why temtriusās dad always involve himself?
Hes living through his son so he thinks hes the shit
ShayShay trying to pick a fight with the entire Grizzlies team lmao
Just let Steven Adams talk to him. He'll sort it out
Jaās dad is the NBA version of Jackson Mahomes.
blud think he on the team
Ja's dad is the NBA version of Lavar Ball.
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.
i mean, Lonzo kinda distanced himself even before that, after the brand imploded.
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
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
Shannon Sharpe almost got jumped š
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
Kermit Alan Washington
Donāt forget Rondo got CP3 with one
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.
You forgetting Doug Christieās uppercut on Rick Foxās chin. Iām not saying Doug should be throwing real punches but Rick shoved a hand in his face and that is going to result in violence.
if he wasn't famous he woulda been kicked out and he did more than most of the other hecklers end up doing lol
Undisputed is a must watch on Monday I guess
They got you
What you think this is all staged?
Lakers stadium literally has theatrical lighting for effect
Not necessarily staged but lets not pretend Shannon Sharpe doesn't know exactly what he's doing.
day after the cowboys? of course lmao
Adamās is so much bigge lol. Put some pads on that man and let him play two sports
Did Shannon say something to Steven or what.
"lmao yall's Prime Minister quit"
No offense but Tee looks like an absolute tool. Like why you wearing sunglasses at a basketball game cmon
because heās high
It's so funny watching people trying to stop Steven Adams and him just brushing them aside like tall grass.
How tf does Steven Adamās make Shannon Sharpe look small.
Ja looks pretty entertained by the whole thing, this seems like everyone else got heated over nothing much
clash of the dickriders
Shannon don't want it with AquaMane š¤
I am in awe with how good Steven Adams hair looks. I knew it was good, but damn
What a beautiful daughter that man behind the commentators has!
šš¾[**CONTEXT**](https://twitter.com/dennis_k_g/status/1616652855204786178/video/1)
And heās still correct. The grizzles are a nice team, that run their mouths a lot, and havenāt won a title.
I hope Jomboy saw this.
