Over the last few days, the NBA world discovered how disrespectful Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray can be. The former San Antonio Spurs All-Star lit up the Pro-Am scene and caused a bit of ruckus in doing so. Whether it's hitting them with the ball or just tossing the ball to his opponent, Murray never misses a chance to let his opponent know he owned them. His latest victim: Orlando Magic rookie Paolo Banchero.
Paolo Banchero was on the receiving end of Dejounte Murray's punishment during the Zeke-End tournament. The Hawks star embarrassed the Magic rookie on this play… then proceeded to let him know how he truly felt. What a monster.

Many fans felt like this was just some good-‘ol friendly trash talk between the two young talents. As it turns out, though, that might not exactly be the case. We don't know what exactly happened during the Pro-Am game between these two players. Based on these comments from both Dejounte Murray and Paolo Banchero, though… things may not have went so pleasantly between them.
The NBA schedule for the 2022 – 2023 season will not be released for at least another week. Based on this interaction, though… you can bet fans that they'll be circling on their calendars the first time the Hawks and the Magic go up against each other.
