The Denver Nuggets got back on track against the Los Angeles Lakers, but the main story line from the game seems to be how the Lakers got salty with some trash talk from Jamal Murray.

The Denver Nuggets were able to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers and Jamal Murray was able to get his groove back after a bit of a slump in the past couple of weeks.

The last time the Lakers and Nuggets faced off, Murray dribbled around Lonzo Ball at the end of the game which Julius Randle took issue to afterwards.

Ball was asked if they remember this and said they did and called it a “punk move.” Murray was seen talking some trash towards Lonzo Ball in this most recent win and Lakers head coach, Luke Walton, took extreme issue to and was fuming at Murray. Funny stuff coming from the same franchise who possessed the great Kobe Bryant for 20 consecutive years, who pulled the same type of antics. Lakers fans are livid with the young Jamal Murray and they are clearly overreacting.

I am sorry, but there is no way Lonzo Ball is anywhere the level of Jamal Murray as of right now. Murray engaged in an aspect of basketball which has been practiced since the 1980’s. We have seen legends such as Larry Bird, Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan trash talk back in the day. Kobe and Shaq did it as well, so it is funny to see the Lakers fan base angry about getting a taste of their own medicine now.

Plus, let’s be honest, a lot of this is overreaction of Big Baller fan boys coming to defense of their quote on quote Lakers “star.”

All I know is Murray finally got back on track and it is actually refreshing to see him exuding some of this cockiness.
