Vikings TE Irv Smith Jr., representing Timberwolves, routs Cardinals’ Byron Murphy Jr. in NBA 2K20

Professional sports have been shut down across the country, but athletes are still finding ways to compete against each other.

For instance, Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. competed against Cardinals cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. in NBA 2K20, which was streamed live on Twitch.

Unfortunately, fans watching the live stream didn’t get much of a game. Smith Jr.’s Timberwolves routed Murphy Jr.’s Suns 104-62.

Smith Jr. scored 41 points with D’Angelo Russell. He also had 20 with Karl-Anthony Towns.

The virtual game wasn’t very close, but the two still exchanged plenty of funny moments when they were playing against each other.

“What’s the score, 24-7?” Murphy Jr. asked, when that was the score of the game at the time.

“A lot to a little,” Smith Jr. said in response.

Though he did say he’d see Smith Jr. again, Murphy Jr. didn’t seem too excited about playing another streamed game of 2K20.

“I’m never doing that again, though, I can tell you that.”

Smith Jr, however, seems ready for the next challenge.
