Ding, Ding, Ding! The Newest NBA Rivalry: Dejounte Murray Embarrassed Paolo Banchero After He 'Tried Flexing That No. 1 Pick Shit'
So here's the play that was going viral yesterday. A few things:
1. What the hell is that guy doing wearing pants out there? I know everyone is focused on Paolo vs Dejounte, but pants? Rule No. 1 of playing basketball is don't wear pants. That's above even wear sneakers to play. You simply can't trust a guy that wears pants to play. First sign that a guy is lost out there is pants. I'm baffled by this, ESPECIALLY when it's a run with NBA players.
2. Pretty silly move by Dejounte. He got Paolo. Fair is fair.
3. Love the aggressiveness in a little pro-am type run. Throwing the ball and talking shit. Good. I know these sort of events are taking off and we're seeing NBA players show up at more shit like it. I still want them to treat it like the mid-level sales guy who is reliving his high school days.

But now we found out why Dejounte did this. We found out why Dejounte embarrassed Paolo and tossed him away like UNC did to Coach K and Paolo.
Nice little Internet fight that let us see the drama on the court. Paolo tried flexing that No. 1 shit. Don't do that to Dejounte Murray - apparently. Now I can't believe I'm going to defend Paolo for a second. But if I was the No. 1 pick, I'd be flexing that shit too. I think I'd wear a shirt with myself getting drafted No. 1 overall. The rest of you idiots can suck my ass not being the No. 1 pick.
Oh, but there is more:
Christ almighty. Dejounte Murray gets away from the Spurs and immediately becomes a tier 1 shit talker and getting after dudes. He's been with Atlanta for a couple months and already reached this. Calling Paolo a little boy is flat out mean. That's the only way to describe it. He had a whole lay out as to why Paolo isn't ready for a man's league. I'm shocked he didn't start rattling off stats and everything else to back up his point.
Hey, at least this fight started on the court.
