Why did Kwame Brown go after Shannon Sharpe?

Kwame Brown did not go after Shannon Sharpe for no reason. He made this social media rant because the former NFL tight end called him out after his comments following Game 4.

Sharpe responded to Brown following his comments about LeBron James' performance against the Denver Nuggets in Game 4. He feels Brown shouldn't be commenting because of how his NBA career went.

"Kwame, of all the people, he should never ever question anybody's greatness because this is what we know, if there is a Mount Rushmore for busts in the NBA history, he is on my Rushmore of busts of NBA players. There's no question."

Back in 2001, Brown was the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. Despite being taken so high, he failed to meet expectations.

In total, Brown played in the league for 12 years. He suited up for seven different franchises in that span. Brown totaled 607 games in his career, and finished with averages of 6.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists.

While he did make it to the NBA, Sharpe has a point in regards to Brown. He should not be commenting on other player's greatness after he came up short meeting expectations.
