Paolo Banchero, Dejounte Murray feud online after disrespectful viral video

Murray went scorched-earth in response. He indicated that he had been close with Banchero in years past but accused Banchero of losing his humbleness after making the NBA.

Banchero hit back with a final response, writing, “[I’m the] same humble kid always vouched for u bro don’t switch the narrative for the internet. Shout-out IT tho for the great event.”

Banchero, the top overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, is a native of Seattle, WA and attended high school there as well. That means that his paths did indeed likely cross with Murray, a Seattle native himself who remained in the area through his college days at the University of Washington.

Their relationship has obviously soured since then though. Now we will be seeing Banchero and Murray duke it out four times a year in the Southeast Division. Murray especially is probably looking forward to that since he has a tendency to take these perceived slights very personally.
