Shannon Sharpe apologises for Memphis Grizzlies scuffle despite LeBron James comments

Shannon Sharpe has apologised for his actions after he argued with Memphis Grizzlies player Dillon Brooks while defending close friend LeBron James at a Los Angeles Lakers game, despite James offering his support to the former Denver Broncos star.

The incident occurred the Grizzlies played the Lakers this past Friday, as a number of Grizzlies players had looked over at the NFL hall of famer before he retaliated and got up out of his chair gesturing at Brooks. This saw Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant intervene, as well as his father, Tee Morant, who came over and had words for Sharpe.

Speaking on his Fox Sports show UNDISPUTED, Sharpe said: "I want to apologise for my behaviour. For the last six-and-a-half years, I have preached responsibility and accountability, and I take full responsibility for what happened.
