Shannon Sharpe had a lot to say on "Undisputed."

Shannon Sharpe is someone who is not afraid to get brutally honest about the happenings inside the NBA. Overall, he is a voice that always seems to be quite reasonable. With many analysts trying to go way left of center with their hot takes, Sharpe certainly reels it in. However, he makes sure to be commanding, which makes him fun to watch on Undisputed. Consequently, fans had been waiting to see what Sharpe would say about Ja Morant getting caught on IG Live with a gun, again.

In fact, Ja Morant was subsequently suspended by the Grizzlies for the latest video. Although it remains to be seen how long he will be out, it is clear that he is in deep trouble. Today, Shannon Sharpe spoke on that fact. As you can imagine, he took a very stern approach with Ja Morant. In fact, he blamed many of Morant's defenders for this recent incident. Moreover, he noted that Ja could very well lose a lot of his endorsements, and perhaps even his NBA contract.

Shannon Sharpe Speaks

"All of the people that said let Ja be Ja, are y'all gone be the treasurer of that GoFundMe account, because he just lost $39 million because he wasn't on one of the three All-NBA teams," Sharpe said. "He's about to lose another $20-$30 million of these endorsements. What about to the NBA? Nike? What about the Powerade? I want to know who is going to be the treasurer of that GoFundMe because he is about to lose that NBA contract. He is about to lose that Powerade endorsement."

For now, the potential consequences against Ja Morant are very much unknown. Regardless, things are not looking very good for him right now. The NBA is not going to take lightly to this, especially what happened last time. Although some will say that this is not a big deal, the National Basketball Association will have the final say on whether or not that is true. Let us know what you think of what Sharpe said, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the sports world.
