Jamal Murray trolled Lonzo Ball and it was awesome
By Mathew Huff
At the end of the Nuggets vs. Lakers game, Jamal Murray trolled Lonzo Ball.
Many Lakers fans are upset at Nuggets’ starting point guard, Jamal Murray. At the end of the game, Murray took the liberty to dribble around Lonzo Ball.
Julius Randle did not take kindly to it and confronted Murray in an altercation which could have been ugly. Thankfully, Murray walked down to the other end of the court avoiding trouble. To the Lakers fans who are complaining, I have one thing to say to you. Cry me a river.
First of all, if Lonzo’s dad would keep his mouth shut, this would not have happened in the first place.
Second of all, Murray is just embracing the competitive spirit of the game. If people are this sensitive about something like this, there is no way they would have survived in the 80’s and 90’s. An era where smack talk and getting into it was a norm in the NBA and players had “beef,” with each other all of the time.
Third of all, I would think the fan base that embraced the great competitive spirit of Kobe Bryant night in and night out would understand the fire and competitiveness brought by two players.
To top it all off, this had been escalating the entire night. Furthermore, if you watched the game, both Murray and Ball had been jawing at each other throughout the game. Not to mention, really? You are upset simply because he dribbled around your first round draft pick.
Let me give you some advice if you are a Lakers fan. Stop worshiping the Ball family, get over the fact someone gave you a taste of your own medicine and quit whining like a couple two year olds who did not get your way.
It is a sport and stuff like this is always going to happen.
