Jamal Murray: I want to be the best player ever
He’s widely considered one of the best basketball players in the history of the league to have never made an All-Star team. And when asked if he thinks he’s one of the top current players, he didn’t hesitate. “Of course,” Jamal Murray said. “And I strive to be the greatest. I want to be the best player ever. Obviously, if you don’t shoot high, then you’re never going to get there. I think Jokic is the greatest player right now. And I try to be a close second.”

Okay, I’m now officially fucking irritated about these All-NBA rules.
Jamal Murray is ineligible for All-NBA despite being on track to play in 66 games if he plays the rest of the season.
WHY is he ineligible?
Because the rule is actually 20+ minutes in 65 separate games.… – 1:21 PM

Coach Malone said the Nuggets had to change the defensive player of the game chain tonight to defensive player of the half 😂
Nikola Jokić finished with 6 steals and 2 blocks. He received the defensive specific one.
The other chain went to Jamal Murray. – 11:39 PM

After a weird start to the game, Jamal Murray’s up to 18 points and 7 assists on 7/12 FG, 2/5 from 3.
He’s missed two free throws and played bad defense, but that can change here in the 4th. – 10:56 PM

Jamal Murray’s generally a good post defender and Kelly Olynyk is making him look small. – 10:22 PM

Michael Malone disputed the report that the Nuggets cancelled their White House trip because they are trying to get the 1 seed.
Malone emphasized that being healthy was the biggest priority, especially when it comes to Jamal Murray and his ongoing bumps and bruises. – 7:29 PM

More on this storyline
When asked if he believes he’s underrated, Murray didn’t hesitate. “From maybe media or non-basketball followers, maybe,” Murray said. “I think I definitely have the respect of my peers. That’s all that matters. If I go on the court and I’m one of the most feared out there, regardless of what other people say, that’s all I need.” -via FoxSports.com / March 13, 2024
Jamal Murray knows his value. Even though the Denver Nuggets guard has established himself as one of the top players in the league, he hasn’t won a single notable individual NBA award, including not making any All-Star teams. For Murray, that slight is far from defining. “It’s not like I need an All-Star nod just to be recognized as one of the best players out there every time I step onto the court,” Murray told FOX Sports earlier this month. “That’s the mindset I have.” -via FoxSports.com / March 13, 2024
Dillon Brooks had 39 points as Canada beat the United States 127-118 in overtime to win bronze at the FIBA World Cup on Sept. 10. Canada earned its first-ever men’s World Cup medal despite missing several key NBA players like point guard Jamal Murray of the NBA champion Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers point guard Andrew Nembhard, and Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins. He said he’d be happy to add those three, and others, to help Canada’s men’s team win its first Olympic medal in nearly a century. Canada earned silver at the 1936 Berlin Games, the first time basketball was an Olympic sport. “I said this after we won the bronze that it doesn’t matter, we gotta re-up. We gotta get better,” said Brooks. “So add Jamal, add in Nembhard, add in Wiggins. “That’s going to make our team better. Those guys are selfless players.” -via Toronto Sun / March 13, 2024
