Shannon Sharpe is not a happy Los Angeles Lakers fan today.

In the aftermath of the Los Angeles Lakers Game 2 loss to the Denver Nuggets, Sharpe did not mince any words when speaking on Rui Hachimura’s performance.

Sharpe, known for his candid commentary, took aim at Hachimura’s lackluster showing on both ends of the court, and he even suggested that something illegal was going on as he brought up Michael Porter Jr.’s brother, who was banned from the league for betting on games.

“Rui, I don’t know, maybe he is talking to Michael Porter Jr.’s brother. Because I think he took the under on the 10 points the bettors had him. I’m saying that tongue in cheek. But I’m saying, bro, how you miss that many easy layups? How you have three points?”

Rui Hachimura had two terrible games in Denver against the Nuggets. In game 1, Hachimura only took four shots, hitting two of them for seven points.

During game two, Rui went 1 for seven from the field in 38 minutes for 3 points while adding five rebounds, via ESPN.com.

As for the Jontay Porter mention, Sharpe was talking about the former Toronto Raptors player being handed a lifetime ban by the NBA for violating the league’s gambling policy. The NBA’s investigation found that Porter purposely limited his participation in a game last month against the Sacramento Kings specifically to influence the outcome of one or more bets on his performance.

Shannon Sharpe seems to think Rui Hachimura is playing terribly for the same reason.

More than a year has passed since Shannon Sharpe nearly fought the entire Memphis Grizzlies roster.

Shannon Sharpe loves him some Lebron James, however, and while cheering on the team, he got in a shouting match with Ja Morant’s father, Tee, and the two had to be separated by security.

That came after he, Dillon Brooks, and Ja Morant had words with each other, which caused Steven Adams to come over to get involved.

Sharpe, who at the time was co-hosting FS1’s “Undisputed” with Skip Bayless, apologized on the air after the incident.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
