Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray arrived to Game 3 of the team's first-round NBA playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs in a Charles Barkley shirt.
After the Nuggets' Game 2 win at home, Barkley roasted Murray for wearing an NBA Jam shirt that had a drawing of Murray on it.
The Nuggets' sharpshooter obviously saw Barkley's criticism and decided to wear a shirt with Barkley's face on it.

Jamal Murray essentially saved the Nuggets' season in Game 2. He scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to help Denver erase a double-digit deficit and even the series at 1-1. Murray finished Game 2 with 24 points while shooting 8-of-17 from the field and 2-of-3 beyond the arc.
As we all know, Barkley is never going to shy away from speaking his mind. It's what makes him one of the funniest guys on TV.
Jamal Murray and the Nuggets need to win one game out of the next two in San Antonio to reclaim home-court advantage in the series. It won't be easy, though; the Spurs went 32-9 at home during the regular season.
The Spurs have the veteran roster, while Will Barton and Paul Millsap are the only starters on Denver who have played on the road in the postseason. Jamal Murray knows that he can't rely on supernova-level bursts to save his team. Murray, thrust into the glare of the playoff spotlight, has to be a lot more consistent for the Nuggets to have a good chance of winning this series.
