Jamal Murray Making Fun Of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Flopping Gone Viral

The clip displays the Thunder star's attempt to score a point by getting to the basket. However, how he has opted to do so has been deemed questionable by many among the NBA fraternity and fan base.

Gilgeous-Alexander can be seen diving and flailing forward after splitting a double team. In the process, he receives marginal contact from Nuggets forward Christian Braun, who is immediately charged with a personal foul for the play.

Considering how competitive the game had been, the official blowing the whistle on this play left the Nuggets players in disbelief. In the process, while the Thunder guard was still on the floor, Murray went on to make fun of him for his flopping display.

To make matters worse, the foul was called at the end of the third quarter. With 0.1 seconds left on the clock, Gilgeous-Alexander knocked down his two free throws to bring the score to 82-90 ahead of the final frame.

However, this would have little impact as the Nuggets managed to hold onto their lead after a scrappy and gritty display in Game 6. With a 119-107 scoreline, Denver managed to defend home court and ensure their chances of continuing in the postseason.

Game 6 saw some terrific performances from players on both teams. OKC's star had himself an incredible scoring night, leading his team with 32 points and six assists on 11-16 shooting from the field. 

Although he didn't receive as much support from his co-star Jalen Williams, Thunder big man Chet Holmgren showed up with a solid display of 19 points and 11 rebounds on some stout defensive work.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets saw three players score 20+ points on Thursday night. Nikola Jokic led the charge with 29 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists. Murray, who was playing through illness, also joined the party with 25 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. An unlikely hero was Christian Braun, who came up with 23 points and 11 rebounds on 8-14 shooting from the field.

The unsung hero for the Nuggets on Thursday was Julian Strawther. The youngster has played very limited minutes for this team, but in Game 6, he shone with 15 points on 3-4 shooting from beyond the arc.

A series of crucial performances sees the Nuggets head into yet another Game 7, their second of this postseason run. While they will be hopeful to emerge victorious, some pressing concerns regarding Aaron Gordon's hamstring injury will require Denver to make immediate adjustments.

The final spot in the Western Conference Finals will be decided in a decisive Game 7, slotted to take place at the Paycom Center on Sunday at 3:30 pm ET.
