Shannon Sharpe was anything but happy on Tuesday while discussing Richard Jefferson’s words on Kevin Durant and LeBron James. The former NBA player-turned-analyst warned the New York Knicks fans about wanting to face Kevin Durant in the playoffs given his level and how great he plays in the postseason.
More specifically, he said that even with LeBron James on his squad, Jefferson didn’t want any of that smoke, words that made a lot of noise around the league. Skip Bayless and Sharpe discussed this situation on FS1’s Undisputed and the former NFL player was fuming with RJ’s words.
He said that those words were a betrayal by Jefferson for LeBron James, who took him to win the NBA championship in 2016. At some point, though, Sharpe used an expletive while making the case against Durant, who failed to take his Oklahoma City Thunder to the Finals, blowing a 3-1 lead in front of the Golden State Warriors.
“Go look at Kevin Durant in the same f***ing Western Conference Finals,” Sharpe said while discussing with Bayless.
This man is very passionate about his job and he’s willing to do anything to defend what he says. In recent days, he clashed with KD on social media after fake quoting the Brooklyn Nets star, who added another victim to his list of media members that succumbed to him.
It was live TV and anything could happen but Sharpe was really not having that while Bayless said that Jefferson’s take only confirmed that Durant is a better player than LeBron. Well, that’s debatable and that’s exactly what they did on Tuesday.
