"I need you to give GOAT James his props" - Shannon Sharpe drops a hilarious new video in praise of LeBron James and LA Lakers, demands his Mtn. Dew case from Skip Bayless
LeBron James led the Los Angeles Lakers to a comeback win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, with Russell Westbrook icing the game. One of LeBron's biggest fans, Shannon Sharpe, was particularly happy about the Lakers' victory.
In a post on his official Twitter account, Sharpe boasted about winning his bets with "Undisputed" co-host Skip Bayless.
The three-time Super Bowl champion wants his two cases of Mountain Dew after the Los Angeles Rams won on Sunday and the Lakers got the win on Wednesday.
"Last game before the break, ya'll thought Bron was gonna let this thing slip away? Ya'll saw that...I need you to give GOAT James his props. You saw Russ step to the free-throw line and make both of them free throws. Played great down the stretch. But it was GOAT James."
I’M GOING TO NEED ALL MY DEW SKIP!
I know y’all saw GOAT JAMES last night! https://t.co/qElRcCfKPR
Shannon Sharpe picked the Rams to win the Super Bowl, while Skip Bayless went with the Cincinnati Bengals. On Sunday, the Rams defeated the Bengals 23-20, with Aaron Donald getting the sack on fourth down to seal the championship.
Donald was present at the Lakers game and it inspired LeBron James to play great against the Jazz.
"I just tried to take the inspiration of what he was able to accomplish over the past couple days. He's the greatest defensive player I have ever seen play the sport. For him to take time out of his day and watch us play after the parade was amazing."
But back to the main topic, it would be interesting to know how Skip Bayless is going to react to the Rams' Super Bowl win and LeBron's performance against the Jazz.
On his own Twitter account, Bayless went on to praise Russell Westbrook, rather than "The King."
YEP: LEBRON ONCE AGAIN RUNS FROM THE LATE-GAME FREE-THROW LINE ... RUSS WINDS UP WITH THE BALL ... AND MAKES THE TWO CLINCHING FREE THROWS. INCREDIBLE: WESTBRICK SAVES LEBRICK.
