Dejounte Murray likes to make fun of people on the field, especially those with less professional experience than him. When he faces amateurs as a pro All-Star at the August Pro-Am event, he’ll wait a moment in the game to show his advantage. For example, he will provoke opponents by hitting them over the head with the ball, which among other things shows how good the skill and physical quality he has as a player.
Such a move is hardly allowed in the professional arena, but it is different in the brutal street court. It is a provocation, a way to belittle an opponent, it is extremely offensive and is reserved for the strong.
Maybe this kind of behavior is prone to polarizing comments, but it’s pretty cool when a player goes overboard and knocks his opponent down on a wooden floor. In addition to this, the same is true when there is a dunk on the court that knocks the opponent to the ground.
What Murray is doing is showing the world that he is getting better, and it’s not just about the stats. He wants everyone to focus on him. While many people don’t like this flamboyant behavior, there are also many interested in it.
Murray also suffered from the virus during the NBA’s toughest times. However, he was resurrected later. In this age of attention, everyone wants to be a hero, but he does the opposite and wants to be the villain on the pitch.
Until now, Murray is still working on it. Traded with the Atlanta Hawks in June, he spent the first five seasons of his career with the San Antonio Spurs, where famed ex-soldier Gregg Popovich coached and managed for nearly 30 years, with no frostbite.
You can ask Dennis Rodman or Stephen Jackson what he did on such a disciplined team. From a personality standpoint, Murray has become a star talent within the rigid Spurs model, and has always been relatively conservative. While this helped him a lot on the team, it also allowed us to hide his true personality (although the bohemian of him could be found in places).
However, that all changed fairly quickly and overnight Murray established himself as one of the wildest performers in recent memory, which is bound to influence the Eagles’ record projections for the 2022-23 season. His new backcourt mate and friend, Trae Young, has felt very comfortable playing the villain since he coldly cracked down on a playoff crowd set at Madison Square Garden two seasons ago.
Murray’s sympathy seems to inject new energy into Atlanta, a backcourt duo that may be more committed to smashing their opponents than anyone else they’ve seen in recent years. Of course, the situation could be very different, as professional and amateur competitions are fundamentally different. But he brought living water during these months of drought into basketball.
In a match in Seattle, he tried to lead the ball. At this time. He is facing the number 1 choice of 2022 Paolo Banchero arriving in coverage. Murray made a false pass to distract Banchero, then threw up and completed the alley-oop under Banchero’s defense. After that, Murray still doesn’t seem happy. Then he made a “too short” gesture in Banchero’s direction, grabbed the ball and threw it at him angrily.
This peacock-like movement is not a previous generation patent. In recent years in the NBA, this behavior would have allowed most of the extinct “Enforcer” players to physically attack players in essence.
Disrespect in modern professional play is usually limited to words, sometimes extending to pushing and occasionally trampling a fallen player. What Murray is doing represents a greater degree of contempt that can often be seen in athletes who work similarly to professional wrestling and competitive basketball.
If he were to attempt such a thing in a national television game, it would be an aggressive act with disastrous consequences. Murray is trying to understand new styles and discover new cultures or things that are growing.
What will Murray look like after this season? Let’s wait and see.
