A halftime incident between members of the Memphis Grizzlies and Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe occurred during a 122-121 Los Angeles Lakers victory Friday night. 

While the Lakers came from behind for the win, the shouting match that took place between Sharpe and the Grizzlies was the focus of the postgame conversation.

"I ride with Shannon for 365 days, 366 on a leap year, 24/7," LeBron James said after the game. "So, that's my guy. So I'll always have his back, and he's got mine. He can talk with the best of them, for sure."

Steven Adams and Ja Morant walked toward Sharpe as security got in between. 

"They didn't want this smoke, Dave [McMenamin]," Sharpe told ESPN. "They do all that talking and jockeying, and I ain't about that jockeying. It started with Dillon Brooks. I said he was too small to guard LeBron. He said, 'F--- me'. I said, 'F--- you' back. He started to come at me, and I said, 'You don't want these problems.' And then Ja came out of nowhere talking. He definitely didn't want these problems. Then the dad came, and he obviously didn't want no problems.
