Kendrick Perkins CALLS OUT Jamal Murray to HELP OUT Jokic! 😤 Concerns in Denver?! 👀 | First Take

[@jamesjones6315]

@@kachoww5981He’s great against the Lakers. It’s been that way since he was a rookie. People forget what he did when DLo was here the first time. Murray loves playing against the Lakers. He would be a top 10 player if he brought that same energy every game. However it’s funny that people haven’t noticed this before now. It’s been that way. He isn’t consistent. He has never been.

[@johnlamprecht7523]

Lay it on em, Big Perk

[@maxinekanner5434]

Murray basically said they stayed in LA and partied with the teammates who are from LA, they just didn't have it that game and he admitted why

[@kevinjames60]

I feel like they misconstrued what Jamal said. Hes not excusing the LA guys. Hes saying theyre not focused like Stephen A said

[@gtru297]

Denver fan here, Kendrick is spot on

[@pinballnut-61]

Nuggets fan here Westbrook should be starting.

[@danesovic7585]

Bro, you can only say you have life outside of basketball, when you win and when you play well.

[@Matthew-cw3gn]

it's kinda crazy how many top players in the league have been called out for conditioning. they're actually backsliding to previous generations that didn't take fitness seriously--even with the 100x money and resources available plus the elevated competition that should push them.

[@williamgrimm23]

First time I've ever agreed with Perk? First time for everything. Go Nuggs.

[@Jemreaux]

Jokic is no more than a 7 foot Russell Westbrook when Murray isn’t there. We saw what Denver looked like when he was injured - 1st round exit

[@Nunbutvibesant]

This is the one time I actually agree with Kendrick Perkins. The only time Jamal Murray shows up to help Jokic is when they play the Lakers. Every other game he’s Houdini because he disappears🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ZZZ-pu4yw]

jokic literally played trash yesterday mpj and jamal had a good first half and they still were down like 20 points because jokic cant defend a parked car

[@user-xk77777]

He’s been a whiny baby since they won the championship. Sad because his comeback after his injury was actually nice to see, but his ego is garbage.

[@twistedtide]

@@ZZZ-pu4yw Youve lost your mind. MPJ got bodied over and over and over a-fucking-gain by Annunoby and Mikal.. Jokic was playing help defense the entire first half because MPJ and Watson were getting exposed.

[@thekingofball2341]

Bro would yall shut up with that narrative😒😒 Cause last I checked prior to 2024 playoffs he’s been playing great in the playoffs even when they didn’t face the Lakers. His best series was arguably in the finals or the Jazz series in the bubble.

[@jamesjones6315]

Murray is inconsistent. He is a playoff guy. You’re right. He’s not a regular season guy. That’s the issue.

[@ioannisbezas3107]

It's still the beginning of the season take it easy!

[@roronoazoro-136]

Jokic deserves to play with allstars too. He should demand a trade if they dont improve the team drastically

[@jonathonlutz8180]

Stars sit out randomly for injury management, being "ill" and many of them seemingly openly admit that they don't play hard every game... why is the season still 82 games?

I don't get that take. Murray was explaining the team's lack of focus and energy.

[@Kobiyashi77]

@ what about his lack of focus and energy? speak for urself first before throwing ur guys under the bus 😭😭

[@PS-94-14]

I feel bad for Jokic man, they just gave this guy a 4 year max extension and he can't even show up in shape for the season. His attitude stinks but nobody seems to hold him accountable, paid like an all star but he's getting out performed by Christian Braun

[@Jerry-iv3yh]

I think he is injured. Even the olympics. He is trying but his body is breaking down

[@haywood0457]

SAS and you have a point, but I think it’s a bit both especially when considering JMs overall play. He’s not looking good and he seems disinterested. That happens to people when the experience success. He does not look as hungry as the championship year and it’s not even close. He couldn’t even summon the strength to play for his own country!

[@MostUnbiasedFan]

Everyone knows what he meant. People are perplexed at how he's saying that when he's just as bad if not worse.

[@Maikeru305]

I feel you how it might come off as a diss to his teammates, but saying they beat the lakers to try and give the team some type of credit kinda null and voids it being a diss and just an excuse

[@jamesjones6315]

@@RealMrSmileWhy are people surprised about Murray’s attitude? He’s had a bad attitude since he was a rookie. I recall him going off on Lonzo in a game with his attitude and got called out for it. His game is legit but inconsistent. His attitude is the same now as it’s been. He’s a champion now so if anything his attitude is validated. He’ll be a HOF after he retires because that’s what happens to guys who win an NBA Championship. Crazy how that is. I guarantee you he has already thought about that too.

[@stepwong6061]

It's not against the Lakers. Only time he/they play just like the rest of the league in general…Injuries out until they play the Lakers( e.g., AD & Beal tonight).

[@kelvinwatkins1596]

People are missing the point.He was basically telling on his teammates.He was saying his teammates were probably partying in LA.Jamal has put All-star caliber numbers in the past.This isn't the same Nuggets team.They don't have a bench.They didn't improve enough in the off-season.

[@RealMrSmile]

Yeah but it's also fairly clear that Murray is not as good as he was too

[@Im_a_49er]

EXACTLY why the NBA viewership is down!! We know y’all are getting paid exorbitant amounts of money. And y’all sure do well in reminding us. Almost as if y’all got something better to do with y’all time then play a game in front of the very fans who fill your pockets. CRAZY! But hey, I ain’t a Hundred millionaire so what do I know.

[@rtoomer92]

Everybody doesn’t understand this sentiment is a reflection of their best player’s attitude. Jokic is known for treating basketball secondary even if he is still dominant. This has a trickle down effect on his teammates.

[@DD-ls9sr]

Murry is a "Player" where you get comfortable after winning a title and you get that max extension. He got drafted, won a title and got his max extension. He's probably like "Yeap I'm good". That's what I got out of it from the post interview

[@tajgibson8776]

Jamel Murray is not the only NBA player who said "we have lives outside of basketball"! Lebron James said the same thing after they got swept by the Nuggets in the 2023 playoffs. The reason why these guys don't really play with heart n effort is because they are getting paid millions.

At least Lebron has 4 rings. I’m not a Lebron fan but right is right. He produces way more consistently than Murray on a night in and night out basis.
