Paolo is so strong that he goes up for the ball and unintentionally makes Dejounte Murray bust his ass on the floor.
Paolo doesn't even realize he's mad when Murray uses his strength to push Paolo back.
Paolo stops his momentum, hugs him, and pats him on the belly lol. pic.twitter.com/NttfjFy1RG

After A Crazy Dunk, Dejounte Murray Informs Paolo Banchero That He Has “Lost All Respect” For Him
Murray initiated the brawl by giving Banchero an early “welcome to the game” moment with a rude dunk on Sunday at the Zeke-End Pro-Am competition at Tacoma Community College in Washington. Things began to become heated on the court before spilling over into social media.
Dejounte Murray’s response to Paolo Banchero:
Murray’s clip was uploaded on Banchero’s Instagram feed, and the Hawks guard unfollowed him. Banchero said, “Lol, stopped following me on IG and everything.” “It has to be personal, right? That’s OK; just be careful next time and quit sending doubles, family.” Murray didn’t hold back in his retort, declaring that after years of pulling for Banchero, he no longer appreciates him. Murray, who stated that he will continue to support Banchero despite his apparent lack of respect, also stated that the Magic youngster used to rebound for him whenever he was a child.
Paolo Banchero is deafeningly quiet:
Banchero no more responded to Murray, but he did tweet a supporter who justified him because he was only 19 years old. Murray and Banchero’s new NBA competition is something that fans can look forward to in the next season. Banchero didn’t respond, although he did shove Murray off of his back when he got in his face at first.
Murray, a five-year league veteran, has faced Banchero in several Washington basketball competitions, including the CrawsOver Pro-Am in Seattle. However, Murray’s mocking of Banchero following posterizing him on Saturday has sparked a new dispute between the two outstanding players.
