A video purporting to show the brother of Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic punching a fan after the Nuggets’ game vs. the Los Angeles Lakers has gone viral on social media.

In the Denver Nuggets’ practice gym, a backpack was on the line. A designer backpack with a speaker built into it. An NBA star player’s backpack. Four of Jamal Murray’s high school friends and basketball teammates were visiting him in Denver. It was still early in his NBA career, and he was showing them his office.

But after a devastating 101-99 loss that stuck the Lakers in a 2-0 playoff hole, NBA icon LeBron James didn’t lament his long-distance miss with 16 seconds left.
