Jamal Murray

Perhaps drawing inspiration after watching his teammates complete self-alley-oop dunks and uniquely-angled behind-the-back dimes, Jamal Murray was determined to not allow the Denver Nuggets’ unselfish excellence to end without one more dazzling display. With a double-digit lead secured and a victory in his sights, the star guard puts his vision on tape, knifing his way into the heart of the paint to force a double team before uncorking a nifty behind-the-back pass of his own, setting up a teammate for a two-handed flush and and-one opportunity. Fighting off physical, hounding defense and double teams throughout, Murray helped Denver exact a measure of premeditated payback against the New York Knicks. With his switch flipped into postseason mode one month early, the gifted guard finished with 23 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer on March 21, 2024.
