Shannon Sharpe praised Stephon Castle’s talent after the San Antonio Spurs’ Game 3 win, but he also made clear that the rookie guard still has mistakes to cut out.
The Spurs needed that kind of performance at Madison Square Garden. Down 2-0 in the NBA Finals, San Antonio had to survive a loud New York Knicks crowd, Donald Trump’s security-heavy visit, and a late push from Jalen Brunson’s team.
Castle helped the Spurs do that, but his night was not clean enough for Sharpe to ignore. The former NFL star saw a young player with huge upside, and also a few decisions that could have made the win harder than it needed to be.
Shannon Sharpe on X reacted to Stephon Castle’s Game 3 performance after the Spurs beat the Knicks 115-111 at Madison Square Garden.
“Castle is a phenomenal player and will only get better. He plays really dumb basketball at times,” Sharpe said.
