What Kings’ Fox hilariously told Murray after poster dunk on Chet originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Keegan Murray electrified the crowd on Friday night with a vicious poster dunk over 7-foot rookie Chet Holmgren in the Kings’ 105-98 NBA In-Season Tournament win against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The entire Kings’ bench and fans inside Golden 1 Center went wild after the monster slam from the second-year forward.
But not everyone was impressed. Kings All-Star point guard De’Aaron Fox seemed unimpressed by the dunk.
Murray and Fox, who formed a close bond over the summer, created a friendly wager for the 2023-24 NBA season to see who will have the better dunk.
After Friday’s win, Murray was asked where his poster over Holmgren stood in the rankings in the competition with Fox. Apparently, Fox doesn’t believe Murray’s dunk should count.
“Well I asked him about it and he said it wasn’t body to body so I don’t know if he’s classifying that as a good dunk or not,” Murray said.
Fox has been sidelined for the last five games due to an ankle injury he sustained in the Kings’ overtime win against the Los Angeles Lakers. With no set timeline for his return, perhaps when he does get back on the court, he can show Murray how it’s done.
