The 2023–24 NBA season began on Tuesday night with Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets defeating LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers. Despite the close game, the two teams proved that basketball isn’t everything.

The Lakers lost 119-107 to the defending champions at Ball Arena, but James still had time to show love for Murray’s family before getting on the team bus.

Murray acknowledged the King’s kindness by reposting the video on his Instagram Story. The well-known Canadian wrote, “The side that they don’t see.” There is obviously some kind of friendship between the two performers.
