As a Lakers fan, Snoop Dogg closely followed the start of the playoffs. It has therefore not escaped his notice that Jamal Murray was recently fined $100,000 after a dangerous act. Gesture on which the rap legend has also poured his heart out.
Snoop Dogg has been regularly filling the stands at the Crypto.com Arena for many years to encourage the Lakers. And even when he’s not in the stands, he closely follows the news of the playoffs. After the elimination of his favorite team in the first round, he also kept an eye on the progress of the Nuggets and therefore did not escape the recent controversy generated by Jamal Murray.
Snoop Dogg scandalized by the Jamal Murray affair
Picked up by the scenario of Game 2 lost by Denver against the Timberwolves, Murray then threw a projectile towards the field, thus endangering the health of the players who were there. And while many fans called for a suspension, the NBA finally decided to impose… a fine of $100,000. Enough to annoy the legendary rapper, recent guest of the Stephen A. Smith Show :
This story with Murray pissed me off. I have to talk about it because Patrick Beverley threw a ball into the stands and he received a four-match suspension. Murray threw a towel and something else that could have caused an injury. Seriously, man, he deserved his one-match suspension. A $100,000 fine means nothing to a man who earns $50 million a year.

He made a big mistake doing that. It’s the NBA. The rules have existed for a long time, you can’t throw anything on the field… You’re supposed to be suspended, ejected, one of the two! The importance of the match should not have an impact, whether it is the Finals or a Game 7. You must assume the consequences of your behavior. If it was Draymond Green, what would have happened?
For Uncle Snoop, the NBA must be intransigent following such misconduct, especially when it takes place on the court. To support his point, he also drew a parallel with Draymond Green and Pat Beverley, who would have been judged more harshly if they had committed the same gesture according to him. That being said, the star leader was quickly able to turn the page and did so in a very good way this Friday.
After the humiliation, the Nuggets actually bounced back well during Game 3 by largely winning over the Wolves (117-90). The Canadian was not to be outdone with 24 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in the space of 37 minutes. What undoubtedly fueled the anger of his many detractors, according to whom he should not have been on the field.
After letting himself get carried away by frustration, Jamal Murray was fined a mere $100,000. A punishment that Snoop Dogg does not consider severe enough in view of previous decisions by the league concerning other players.
