Jamal Murray's leap: From obsessive scorer to subtle reader of the game
Nikola Jokic serves as the definitive focal point of the Denver Nuggets, not solely due to his scoring ability but also because of the mental and physical speed he brings to the team's game.
Standing beside him is his loyal teammate, Jamal Murray, who perfectly complements the Serbian star.
The point guard from Kitchener has relinquished his obsession with scoring, instead focusing on becoming a master of assists.
This is evident in his commanding statistics, having recorded 42 assists in the NBA Finals, with no game dipping below 10.
No other player has provided as many points as he has, not even specialists such as Jokic or Jimmy Butler, who are known for their philanthropic contributions.
The change in Jamal Murray's game
The Canadian player has shed his one-dimensional label and started to flirt with offensive versatility. It marks a new evolutionary leap in his game.
