Jamal Murray just straight up embarrassed Steven Adams.

The Denver Nuggets are putting it on the Oklahoma City Thunder, scoring 72 points in the first half.

That’s a good half of basketball, but NBA teams score a lot of points in a lot of games. The important thing from this half of basketball was what Jamal Murray did to Steven Adams.

With around 4:30 left in the second quarter, Murray found himself isolated on the big New Zealander. Now, it usually doesn’t work out well for big men when they are tasked with guarding quicker guards on the perimeter. What happened here is the worst case scenario for a guy like Adams. Although he would surely like to forget this ever happened, he will see it in his nightmares for the rest of his life.

Let’s go to the tape. Parental discretion is advised.

Oh. Oh no. Steven Adams just went night night y’all. He flat out disappears out of the shot on the second part of the video.

Murray hits him with a few crossovers before executing a perfect step back and draining the jumper. And Adams, well, he reacts to Murray’s moves the same way most of us common folk would. He just falls down. Adams becomes the human version of that Kesha song (it’s going down, I’m yelling timberrrrrrr).

How does a person come back from something like that? As a basketball player, the two things you try to avoid the most is getting dunked on and getting crossed up so bad you fall down. These things happen quite a bit, obviously, but that is no solace to the victim.

Please keep Steven Adams in your thoughts tonight. It will be a long road to recovery for him. This unfortunate event will probably be the last thing he sees before he dies.
