Sharpe said he dropped 52 points in high schoolWhile filming his popular Nightcap podcast with Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, Sharpe talked a big game.
He even offered to put a rare Louis Vuitton basketball -- worth around $5,000 -- on the line.
"Steph (Curry), Dame (Damian Lillard), whoever wants this Louis Vuitton basketball, come get yourself some. Ten shots from the three," he began.
"Why don't you call out Kyrie (Irving)?" Ochocino asked sarcastically.

Sharpe played college basketball at the University of Colorado and claims he was a high school standout before that.
Of his time at Corona Centennial High School in California, he had some bold claims.
"I averaged 30," Sharpe insisted as Ochocino stood up in disbelief.

"They at my grandma's house. I'mma get 'em," Sharpe added with a grin after calling out the greatest 3-point shooter of all time.

Ocho had some doubts about Sharpe's abilityBack to the sport he made his name in, the three-time Super Bowl champion had some thoughts on Travis Hunter's future at the NFL level.
Many hoped the Heisman winner would continue to dominate on both sides of the ball and were disappointed to see him only put down at cornerback for this month's Combine.
Sharpe insists the dreams were unrealistic and called out those who questioned him.
"They like to play him at the corner and have some packages," he said. "What we were saying.
"Everybody was jumping on us about why he can’t play every snap on offense and defense because he can’t.
"Y’all just want to argue the fact with people who have played the game that have studied the game, I ain’t talking about no, we’re not any casuals, we know what it takes to play at an elite level."
Hunter -- who is in contention to be drafted first overall -- remains confident he can excel on both sides of the ball.
"I'm super confident, and I believe that I can do it at the next level," he told ESPN. "I'm not going to let anyone tell me that I can't do something that I already done.
"They said I couldn't do it in college, and I ended up doing it in college.
"A lot of people tell me I can't do it in the NFL, but I'm going to still do it in the NFL.

Sharpe will doubtless have plenty of takes during the Draft process and it remains to be seen if Curry fancies a shot at winning a unique piece of memorabilia.
