Davis is found guilty in an alleged scheme to defraud a special insurance plan meant for NBA players and their families of over $5 million.

While the entirety of social media is shocked to find the retired NBA player’s reaction to his sentence, Shannon Sharpe also expressed his opinion on the matter.

While speaking of the matter, the NFL legend shared he is upset by the fact that how the players who need the fund will suffer because of this scandal.
