Happy ending for Jamal Murray and a young fan Remember the game ball that was angrily tossed into the stands by a Kyrie Irving incensed at Jamal Murray’s attempt to score a basket that would give him 50 points in the dying seconds of the Denver Nuggets-Boston Celtics clash? The fan in question, identified only as Park, was able to turn Kyrie’s assassination attempt frustrated heave of the ball into a meet-and-greet with his idol — the young Park was in the stands for the Celtics game wearing a Murray jersey — and also took home a lot of Nuggets merchandise, including a pair of shoes signed by the player. Park, who ended up with Jamal's 48-point ball, returned the ball to the man himself during pregame!#MileHighBasketball pic.twitter.com/o9TeepJGhE — Denver Nuggets November 10, 2018 And in return, Park is going home with plenty of gear from Jamal!#MileHighBasketball pic.twitter.com/NIsr8yHSdP — Denver Nuggets November 10, 2018 Note to Kyrie: If you’re looking to prevent an opposing player from getting his hands on the game ball, maybe throwing it in the midst of his own fans isn’t such a bright idea. #HAPPYDIWALI pic.twitter.com/qvDv3IclMy — NBA India November 7, 2018 Kawhi metre A blockbuster trade, Giannis Antetokounmpo putting Kevon Looney flat on his backside and rendering Draymond Green speechless with one dunk, and a happy ending for Jamaal Murray.
