“Night in and night out, he thinks he’s the best player on the floor and a lot of the nights, he is.” -- Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon on why Jamal Murray rises to the occasion in the playoffs Story from msinger
Ahead of Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series against Phoenix on Saturday, Aaron Gordon’s logged just five playoff games with Murray since joining the Nuggets in 2021. His impression of who Murray is during the “second season” is already cemented.
“ is a slower game,” Adelman said. “It’s more game-plan based. He thrives in those situations. No different than seeing what Jimmy Butler’s doing right now in Miami. Certain guys are built for it.”“You know when you watch something, you get goosebumps or your heart skips a beat?” Murray said. “He’s our best screener,” Adelman said. “He does so many things outside of scoring. That’s what makes him so unique is when you get into the playoffs and a lot of the cute stuff that you do in the regular season doesn’t work anymore, and you need a guy that can go get a bucket, and I put him up there … with any of those guys in his age group.”
“It’s just some guys have it, and some guys don’t, I really mean that,” Adelman said. “A lot of guys are really talented, can go get 30 in the regular season and it’s fun to watch and they shoot a lot of free throws, blah, blah, blah. You get into a real moment in the playoffs, it’s got to be a special kind of player with a really special mentality and he happens to be both.”
