[Andrews] Jamal Murray sustained a bad floor burn in Game 3. When he was younger, his dad would have him do pain tolerance drills — including balancing cups of hot tea on his quads while holding a squat — to prepare for moments like this. From NBA Today:

Nothing like reopening the wound of a floor burn every day
Child abuse. Every helicopter parents secret weapon.
Didn’t his dad make him dribble in the snow too lmao
That just sounds like child abuse
If Jamal wasn’t making hundreds of millions of dollars and a star, people would be lookin at this as child abuse
Did he make Murray shit his pants with regularity so he doesn’t get carted off like Paul Pierce 👀
Also shooting free throws in the dark cold at night until he made 10 in a row. Sometimes his hands would be frozen but didn’t matter
A pain tolerance drill like that? He could’ve just done a wall sit or a plank
I think “pain tolerance drills” for your child is like half a step away from child abuse. Jamal’s dad is a bit of a psychopath
“Pain tolerance” is how you describe child abuse on a resume
uhhh, idk if this is a good thing
That dad’s name?
i feel like you gotta not say this, bc some mf is heating up the kettle rn
This just in: Jamal Murray’s father was a fucking psychopath
Is any of this actually necessary for developing pain tolerance
ok but what were these drills meant to prepare for? who is drinking tea courtside?
Some anime shit lol
[Pic of him as a kid](https://img3.gelbooru.com//images/2d/1d/2d1d0dec98917f83188021952b98c8b9.png)
I drink hot tea for breakfast
TIL Joe Mazzulla Jamal’s dad
Tf lol was his dad training him to be Batman?
Reminds me of the stories of Tua’s dad. Child abuse described as leading to their sons success, not in spite of it…..
He sure was rubbing his hand a lot last game. His pain tolerance drills must not be effective lol
Should have just hit him… much easier than making tea and equally as abusive.
So did he had to hold the position until the tea was cold or what? This seems sadistic.
Rebranded child abuse as “pain tolerance drills.” I’m sure he did it out of love
For those that are interested here is an ESPN article that talks at length about his upbringing and training…

Breh that sounds like terrible parenting and wholly unnecessary
Teams have the best doctors to patch you up and lower the pain
This is prime r/OrphanCrushingMachine material
Yeah this is obviously just child abuse
Because had his father not done that, Jamal would be out for the rest of the series with that floor burn.
Or ya know, he would just played through it the same exact way just with less childhood trauma.
How is this a story that can be released with a positive spin? Straight up abuse
CPS watching this like👀
Brother, that’s child abuse.
Is this nba circle jerk lol
Now I know why I only made it to division 3 basketball. Thanks, dad, you made me a fucking pussy.
I heard his father (who owned a tofu store) taught him to drive with a unique trick – every morning when Jamal delivered tofu, his dad gave Jamal a cup of water which was placed in the drink holder; Jamal must not spill even a drop of it while he is driving. This is ostensibly to prevent breaking the tofu in the boot, but it forces Jamal to drive very smoothly.
All these soft ass motherfuckers calling this child abuse wish their dads cared as much as Murray’s dad
Joe mazzula taking notes.
Ok but why go through the trouble of preparing tea every time instead of just heating up some water
