Hall of Fame tight end and sports talk show host Shannon Sharpe is no stranger to hyperbole, but he may have gone just a bit too far with his praise for Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> megastar LeBron James<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the latest episode of his Nightcap <\/a>show with Chad Johnson, Sharpe declared that LeBron hasn’t received enough praise for what he’s done for the Lakers since joining them. He declared that the Lakers “weren’t on TV like they were” prior to LeBron’s arrival and after the late-great Kobe Bryant<\/a>‘s final game for the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cLakers weren\u2019t on TV like they were. When they had all them guys and\u00a0they were celebrating and doing all kinds of crazy stuff, there wasn\u2019t nobody talking about the Lakers,\u201d Sharpe declared. \u201cWe hadn\u2019t talked about the Lakers since Kobe\u2019s 60-point game. We didn\u2019t talk about the Lakers before, and we hadn\u2019t talked about them since, until one 23 showed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t remember the Lakers being on TV. But I\u2019ll tell you who was on TV, the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> and the Golden State<\/a> Warriors\u2026 they wasn\u2019t on TV. Yeah, they was in the L.A. market, but they weren\u2019t broadcast nationally, don\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
