[WATCH] Shannon Sharpe and Ja Morant’s Father Nearly Come to Blows at Lakers-Grizzlies Game





Shannon Sharpe, NFL Hall of Famer and co-host of Skip & Shannon: Undisputed, pulled up to Staples Center for a little Friday night basketball. Sharpe is a massive LeBron James fan and also openly admired JA Morant of the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.

Just before the teams left the court for halftime, Sharpe, in his courtside seat, could be seen involved in an altercation with everybody. The main two visibly engaged with Sharpe were Steven Adams and Ja Morant’s father, Tee Morant.

Videos of the incident show a chaotic scene with all parties involved being separated. Sharpe can be heard in various clips yelling toward Morant, “I bet you won’t.”

Referees and security separated the scene, and cooler heads prevailed. During halftime, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin caught up with Shannon Sharpe, who offered his take on the incident.

“They didn’t want this smoke, Dave,” Sharpe said. “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.”

How To

How an NBA Getty Images Photographer Captures Perfect Shots

This article will demonstrate how a NBA Getty Images Photographer can capture the perfect shot. First, you must choose the right location. Next, pick the best angle from where to shoot your photograph. Finally, anticipate what might occur next.

  • Step 1: Selecting a suitable location

You can get the best out of every photograph by choosing the right time and place to take it. You risk losing the moment if you are surrounded by too much activity. People blocking your view is another reason to avoid taking pictures.

When you find a spot that is good, get snapping. It's easier to get closer than further away from the action.

  • Step2: Choosing the Best Angle

After finding the best location, you need to consider the camera angle. This is the second thing you should consider when creating a great photograph.

The best position is one that lets you see the subject matter clearly and doesn't get in the path of any happenings. If you want to see a basketball player do a layup, for example, look through the basket hoop. This will allow you to see the player clearly and without any obstacles.

Next, look for interesting angles. Look for angles that highlight something special about the athlete. His height can be shown by a low angle while his athleticism can be seen through a higher angle.

The last is framing. Framing refers to the relative placement of objects within a frame. When choosing the best composition, balance the foreground (what is nearest to the lens), with the background.

  • Step 3: Anticipating the Next Event

Finally, think ahead. Always be on the lookout for unusual situations, such as someone diving into the lanes or a ball rolling towards he rim. You need to be ready to quickly react. Don't be afraid to call out "action", "cut" or "cut."

Once you have heard those words, stop the action. Then, wait for the action to resume before moving forward again. When you press the shutter, you will have sharp focus.

This guide will help you to get the perfect shot every time. You will learn how to be a professional NBA Getty Images photographer, and you will take amazing photos that will last forever.
