Amidst all this chaos, Lakers fans haven’t left the team’s side as they have continued to support their side’s ventures in the league. The same was evident when LeBron James and co. faced the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. While fans were taking the roof off the arena after the Lakers win, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe was putting the same energy courtside.
