Murray revealed that he no longer respected Banchero and said that as a kid, the Magic rookie used to rebound for him. He held nothing back and wrote, “You tried to flex that No. 1 pick s*it on me when I’ve been rooting for you… [Paolo Banchero] don’t get on this internet saying nothing. You changed from the humble kid you always was and I stand on real sh-t boy and you know. You made it and changed, and I lost all respect.” Through all of this, Banchero stayed silent.
