Atalanta Hawks shooting guard Dejounte Murray has hilariously made fun of himself after matching an unwarranted record by the former Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
The 27-year-old had a good night overall in the match against the Boston Celtics where he ended up registering 44 points and helped the side in an incredible win in overtime with a score of 123-122.
However, Murray registered that many points in 44 attempts. After the match, he made fun of himself while talking to the media and stated: "I don’t wanna take that many shots, but I know Kobe [Bryant] would be proud of me."
Murray equaled Bryant’s record which he registered in 2002 in the match against the Celtics where he ended up registering 41 points in 47 attempts.
The win was a crucial one for the Hawks as it kept them in the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference with 34 wins and 39 defeats.
Murray, who ended the night with 44 points to go with seven rebounds and seven assists, is having a fabulous season for the Hawks.
He is contributing 22.4 points per game which is the second-best by a Hawks player this season. That’s not it as he is also contributing 5.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game.
