He signed an extension to remain on for the rest of the NBA season back in February.
Shannon Sharpe Has Enjoyed A Lot Of Success Since Leaving FS1
Sharpe’s arrival at ESPN came after a seven-year stint as co-host of FS1’s ‘Undisputed’ alongside Skip Bayless.
The two fell out last year before FS1 agreed to buy Sharpe out.
The three-time Super Bowl champion also hosts two very successful shows, ‘Club Shay Shay’ and ‘Nightcap. ‘ On the former, he interviews a different guest every episode and talks sports with former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson and ex-NBA guard Gilbert Arenas on the latter.

As the Boston Celtics reached the final stage of their season’s journey, Jayson Tatum sat with former NBA veterans to discuss teammate Jrue Holiday, who made a significant impact on the Cs.
Following a 106-99 win in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, when Tatum joined Charles Barkley and Co. for a post-game interview, the Hall of Famer brought up Holiday’s performance and said, “It’s a pleasure and a privilege to watch him [Jrue] play defense…he’s the biggest difference on y’all team this year.”
Expressing his astonishment, the Celtics forward stated, “I don’t know how they let us get him but, I’m so happy that we got Jrue on our team, we’re just very fortunate. He just makes winning plays. He’s obviously been here and won a championship.”
Jrue Holiday impressed many with his outstanding performance in the post-season tournament. He averaged 13.2 points, 6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game for the Greens while shooting 50.9% from the floor and 40% from behind the 3-point line.
Tatum was so mesmerized by the veteran guard’s performance that he wondered how his former team allowed him to leave. However, he is not the only one who questions the trade.
