Paolo Banchero and Murray’s beef – a look back
It all started when Murray gave Banchero an early welcome to the league with a mean dunk during the Zeke-End Pro-Am tournament at Tacoma Community College in Washington. Murray taunted Banchero by getting in his face. And also gestured that he was too small for competition in front of him.

Later, Murray shared the clip on Instagram with a caption that only added fuel to the fire. The insulted party found out that Murray unfollowed him. Murray revealed that he no longer respected Banchero and said that as a kid, the Magic rookie used to rebound for him. He held nothing back and wrote, “You tried to flex that No. 1 pick s*it on me when I’ve been rooting for you… [Paolo Banchero] don’t get on this internet saying nothing. You changed from the humble kid you always was and I stand on real sh-t boy and you know. You made it and changed, and I lost all respect.” Through all of this, Banchero stayed silent.
Then began the back and forth between the show. Amongst this wreck, Lamar Jackson and Micah Parsons were shocked to see the final come-down of the beef.
