He got the whole world rooting for the sweep
Big Facts! & I was supporting Denver because I like their coach and Jokic is greatness and used to support Murray…But now…I want the Wolves to dominate them.
Yup. I'm not a fan if either and was hoping for a 7 game series, now I'm wishing for wolves in 4. Jamal could've got somebody hurt throwing stuff on the floor.
lmao i have to agree with that! and i have been rooting for denver since day 1. What kind of an attitude is that come on
Im a Joker fan but this dude maaan now got me rooting for the sweep
not me lil broski jr
Dude threw two objects on the floor during an active game and got no suspension. pretty insane
He also flashed the money sign like Gobert did. 3 offenses in one game and only a fine.
Never thought I'd miss David Stern's tenure, but Adam Silver just showed the world he's got no spine whatsoever.
@@JR-Mysticthe punishment is meant to correct the behavior not to satisfy the media or you goofy fans
Fans in Minnesota should jus throw a bunch of towels next game lol
@@JR-Mystic silver been spineless lol whatchu mean? The soccer mom tournament to cater to public media opinion on seasons feeling dragged out, the play in tournament which is trash and should only apply to teams 8-9-10 if they're all tied with same records.
Homie destroyed his “good boy” reputation FAST! 🤦🏽♂️ 😂😂😂

The wolves just turn this n!gga into a villain 😂😂😭
Imagine if Joker broke his ankle by stepping on that heat pack. Bro literally put everyone at risk, INCLUDING his own teammates. There is no accountability whatsoever from any angle in this situation.
Right
Exactly, is a safety hazard, someone could of sprained or broken an ankle
Spot on
So true, You always see staff constantly wiping the floor down during the game. Even a small spot of slick court can cause someone to slip. The other team, his nuggets, or the refs could have gone down with an injury. It would suck to see that happen to anyone. "Well maybe the Refs not so much".
But you heard him, he takes full responsibility. (And then immediately sidestepped and avoided any and all questions that come with “taking responsibility”)
Let that been Draymond , you wouldn’t have seen him in a NBA game till 2026

Agree.

@@sbvish2000that has nothing to do with the money sign Rudy recently made. DPOY is all season. No comparison.
@@sbvish2000 Gobert was fined $100K for the money sign right? That’s the standard the NBA set right? So think about it. If Murray did that AND threw the items on the court. And received the same exact punishment as Gobert did. Well then he really didn’t get in trouble AT ALL for literally throwing items on to the court and potentially injuring other players. All while down by like 30…
The fact he isn’t suspended is an absolute head scratcher no matter how you look at it. Pretty embarrassing and it’s all cause they KNOW without him their precious champions will go down 0-3. Complete garbage and he’s spot on calling them out for it. 💯

@@tayananthony7325? Not only did David Stern retire years ago... the man has also been dead for years. You're confusing him with Adam Silver.
Sometimes we don't appreciate someone until they're gone. I see now how important David Stern's strictness was, because I can compare what happens without it.
What a baby. He's not sorry in the slightest and just wants everyone to ignore his little tantrum - you do something like that and don't even get suspended, you better show some contrition and acknowledgement that what you did was wrong, dangerous, and you owe the league for not suspending you in a do-or-die series

@@jeremyjackson1442So they’re boring because they play of the game of basketball the right way on the court?
@@jeremyjackson1442 speak for yourself please thanks
As a Wolves fan I’m glad they didn’t suspend him. We don’t want Denver to have ANY excuses. Playing 40 minutes vs this defense in front of the Minneapolis crowd is punishment enough
This is the true reason, not the "they want all of them to suffer a sweep". Its about viewership
Just like Embiid
Did SAS call the NBA to see why he wasn't Suspended,???
Amen
Watching murray become a villain over two games has been a crazy spiral
As a suns fan, I remember when Amare and Boris Diaw were suspended for a game just for leaving the bench.. We could’ve won the chip that year in 2007
I still get mad about that when I think about it 🤦🏾♂️
They would have won not you
I remember that also. I was rooting for Steve Nash and the Suns. They only put one leg on the court and that became a suspension. Terrible. That have the Spurs a win next game.
Yea I remember that bs

Yeah you’re yapping
Its not about his basketball talent, he is good and deserve an all star. You just say this now because of what happened. 😂But without this incident, would you dare to say that?
Jamal Murray is an above average NBA player who gets his game easy with Jokic's presence.
“Jamal Murray doesn’t have any blemishes on his name” - Am I the only one thinking about the gawk gawk video 😂💀
It doesn't matter how he answered, the media will never forget the incident and bring it up in the future no matter what. He wants to focus on game 3 and not have 10 reporters ask the same question in 10 different ways.
Murray's punishment is that he should have to play McDaniels and NAW 2v1 and he can stop once he scores 21 points
lmaoooo exactly
NBA should be embarrassed bro already skipped out on one media obligation to answer up to it and then the next time he does he can't even own it. Absolute joke
What?!! 😂

Good for u. We playing sports, loosing is part of the game. As a defending champ. He didn't handle it well.
@@rikudouray Saying he didn’t handle it well is an understatement. None of us are perfect. But I can’t root for a dude that does not have enough common sense to realize he could have injured his teammates. First throw, I get it. 2nd throw.. you just plain stupid.
"It was two days ago, clearly it makes no sense to ever mention it again."
It helps when you keep the quotes factual, and then add your own words separately. Otherwise, some people might actually believe that he said all of that. What he said was bad enough, if you just quoted it accurately.
@@mvpfocus that's right slap that guy
This is business
@@mvpfocus It wouldn't be this guys fault for someone else's inability to find the truth. And it was clearly satire. Not everyone is as stupid as you and believes a random quote from the RUclips comments
@@KillRoy117 Calling other people "stupid" based on disagreement doesn't have legs in a discussion.

Jamal murray was way too emotional, u have to take responsibility when you’re WRONG, nobody is telling u to apologize for something u didn’t do, u put ur contemporaries in danger, own up to it

Ratings or being worried suspending Murray would drastically alter the outcome of the series can’t be the excuse. What he did was pretty terrible and he absolutely should have been suspended for each thing he threw onto the court.
Zero apology, zero remorse. The league proved how weak they were handing down this non punishment.
The person who should have been worried about a suspension altering the outcome of the series...was Jamal Murray. You're just giving license to "important" players to do things because they cannot be suspended.
Pride comes before the fall... I hear a faint howl in the background.

Do not throw towel & heat pad at NBA basketball court while game still on!!!! Wall of shame Jamal Murray history

League protecting the nuggets and their MVP
If the league wants to protect the nuggets and the MVP then why barely any freethows for jokic in lakers series where he was getting fouled left and right ?
Why did nuggets not get any free throws when Minnesota was fouling them in obvious plays which were masked as physicality?
Lebron? 😂
How are the protecting them ? Yall love conspiracy bs say the same thing about bron etc
@@mihirchitnis905 you're so right, just look at the free throw numbers through the first two games. Wolves have shot 26 free throws through 2 games and the Nuggets have only gotten 38 free throws through the first two. How are they supposed to win if they're only getting favored by 12?? It's just not fair
@@asfolson who playing tougher more aggressive defense?
So...we aren't going to talk about the foul disparegy against the nuggets? I mean I'd be frustrated too.
Murray's punishment shuld be the T Wolves fans booing & mockingly chanting Murray the whole game with that suffocating, smothering defense of the Wolves getting under his skin again where he eventually gets two t's and thrown out of the game like he should have been in game 2.
It took a little longer than the others, but Jamal Murray is finally acting like a Kentucky Guard.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villian-
Harvey Dent, The Dark Knight
Truth
Murray's real punishment is coming when he is being hounded defensively by McDaniels and NAW all game long.
They embarrassed him so bad, the refs left him in the game because it was a worse punishment than getting kicked out
I am so tired of hearing the media saying how that suspension would have done this or that to the series. IT'S GAME 3 OF THE 2ND ROUND MATCHUP!!!! It's not the West Conf Finals or The NBA Finals!!!
When Stephen A said, "they didn't ask you about your relationship", I know Chiney had that smile thinking about that one specific video...
Bro should've been suspended
We all know this is about ratings producing money, thats it!
Man we were gonna watch this series with or without Jamal.

I have never seen a team get so much hate for winning one championship
Denver eliminated ESPN’s favourite team the Lakers two seasons running. Of course they are getting hate.

Nah not even a 10 year old would do that

2 year old. My 10 year old is better than that.

When Stephen A started talking, it was like it was the final boss moment 😂😂😂 The verdict came down to him lmao
the commissioner is too soft on these players it going to lead to better issues in future
Adam silver suspended green for game 5 in the finals for nothing. Murray endangers multiple players on the court n gets nothing. Ur right silver is a weak piece of ish
Certainly, not to this degree, but we have seen this man act like a privileged brat in the past. And as for the race thing, let's keep in mind that not only is he bi-racial, he is Canadian. Their race relations are different. He is used to having a bit more privilege.
Why do we feel like people need to apologize for who they are. In that moment he was frustrated and we all know it. Why do WE expect people to say sorry
Jamal Murray looks like the devil from the movie Clash of the Titans.
0:28 Me when I get into an argument with my girl 😂
Adam Silver wasn't lenient because he's a nice guy. He didnt suspend Murray because he wanted to make the most money as possible for that game. Had Murray been suspended, it will lose viewership, lessen the chance for an extended playoff series, and also hit the Las Vegas betting line.
I think even more people would have watched. Americans love drama.
@@focuz4899
Sure, but for money stand point. Adam doesnt want a sweep. If Adam can get 7 game series, NBA would make so much more money.
@@GreyDuck54 I think the series has a better chance of going 7 games without Murray. He looks terrible. Personally I would let the forward Christian Braun start and run the point. He's just bursting at the seams with talent. He's a volcano just waiting to erupt, plus he's healthy.
Or Lebron
Going from a hero to a villian over night 😂😂😂😂 the Jamal murray effect
The dude said he did it and he takes full responsibility!!! Was he supposed to break down crying and give a weak a** apology.
Bro SA is dramatic lol deepening his voice lol Murray was in the wrong with this we all know that
If this is truly a situation where the NBA is deliberately keeping a star in the series to make it competitive for TV ratings etc then Minnesota has a legal case.
Nah won first in gentlemen sweep fashion then then make a legal case in the off-season
“Entitled and privileged. That’s not something black men get to have associated with quite often.”
This isn’t about race. Every athlete in the NBA is entitled and privileged by their wealth and celebrity.
SAS: "MINN was whoopin they a**!" 😮
Am not defending Murry. But the first words that came out his mouth. Was that he took full responsibility for his actions and that should never have happened. Why does he need to elaborate more on it. He his already paying 100g for his action. Whenever the media does not gets what they want all of a sudden they start to chastised and bring down. You all sick me.
Cause it was insincere. It was a passive aggressive remark. You can tell when someone is being heartfelt and remorseful. Dont ever be in a profession where you need to read people cause you are god awful at it.
I hear you, but taking responsibility for your actions and admitting they shouldn't of happened is not the same as saying IM SORRY.
Plenty of people admit to doing stuff and even admit that it shouldn't of happened while still not actually being sorry.
Knowing you did wrong and you shouldn't of done it does NOT mean you're sorry, remorseful, or empathetic towards those you could've hurt.
Some how some way Screamin A smith always finds a way to bring race into the equation 🙄
Thats because in this culture RACENis always a factor. Quit CRYING about it and work with your people to FIX IT!
Either way he was right about how Jamal acted 😉
@0809EZ I agree. I'm black and I'm tired of it myself. It's played out
