If there’s one thing Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray is always sure to do, it is taking part in what Howard Beck of GQ termed the NBA’s most “cherished tradition”
“I’ve never once missed it,” Murray told Beck in an article from May 30 highlighting a practice that dates back decades and touches every NBA corner. “That explains my professionalism, my attention to detail. I gotta have it. Every game day, gotta be the same. Whether at home or on the road.”
While the NBA took measures to improve the quality of life during the NBA season for players with regards to traveling, Beck notes that their schedules remain so abnormal as to put additional emphasis on the need to get proper rest.
