Shannon Sharpe, a Fox Sports commentator and Pro Football Hall of Famer, apologized for his part in an altercation that occurred Friday night in Los Angeles when the Memphis Grizzlies played the Lakers.
Sharpe, who heckled Dillon Brooks and had words with Ja Morant during the game, apologized for what he did on "Undisputed" Monday morning. He also apologized to Brooks, Morant, fans, both teams, his stylist, and even LeBron James directly.
Sharpe heckles Brooks, gets into fight with Tee Morant
The whole thing went down on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Sharpe, who was sitting courtside, had words with Brooks and Morant just before halftime. When the team was in the process of walking into the tunnel to the locker room, they all charged at Sharpe.
And because that wasn't enough, then Tee Morant, Ja's father, came into the fray. He walked up to Sharpe and the two of them quickly had to be separated by security, who was already busy holding back the Grizzlies and their resident giant, Steven Adams, from getting to Sharpe. It was a bizarre scene.
When you, a 54-year-old Pro Football Hall of Famer, start rationalizing why you heckled a professional basketball player by claiming "they didn't want that smoke," it's definitely time to take a step back and assess the situation, right?
Sharpe looks to have done just that. He accepted responsibility for what he did, recognized he didn't act like an adult (or a member of the media), and apologized for everything. Sharpe and Tee Morant patched up their differences in the third quarter.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
