Sharpe had plush courtside seats as he cheered on the Aces in an 88-69 victory at T-Mobile Arena.
The 56-year-old was seen wildly celebrating a bucket of A’ja Wilson in viral footage that circulated after the buzzer.
Sharpe punched the air in delight before raising and lowering his arms toward the floor.
Unfortunately for the First Take star, the bracelet he was wearing died due to his anxious celebration.

Cameras caught him falling between his seats and disappearing through a gap in the aisle.
“That’s why I stay at my house,” Sharpe laughed in X as the footage went viral.
“I am accomplishing it[sic] I’m in public,” he added.
“You are too famous for this man,” replied one fan.
“The passion!! We loved seeing it!!”, wrote another.
“Shannon was like where the hell did that bracelet go…” laughed a third.
“Uncle, that game left me on the couch, so I KNOW what was in the building,” said a fourth.
After the game, Sharpe was clearly impressed with Wilson’s performance and was spotted giving him a pep talk on the court.
Wilson scored 28 points and grabbed 9 rebounds as Las Vegas improved to 11-6 on the season.
Sharpe spent 14 years in the NFL as a tight end for the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens.
Since retiring in 2003, he has built a successful career in the media.

He left the sports debate show last summer to join Stephen A. Smith on First Take.

This will see Sharpe’s two-day role on First Take increase, as well as his appearances on other ESPN programming.
