Jamal Murray is one of the most unique players in NBA history.
Zero All Star appearances, zero All NBA teams, no regular season accolades at all.
Yet, only MJ, Wilt & AI have more 50 point playoff games, he’s got 1 iconic playoff run under his belt, 2 other awesome ones & now…

I stand on this: happy to go down with LeBron and AD on my side any time. Have lots of frustrations around them but they're showing tonight why they have always been a duo to believe in

lakers would’ve won this series with a good coach. or even a competent coach. i will die on this hill. denver has been bad every single game except the second half of game 2.

Lakers: “Darvin Ham the Nuggets are making a run, should we call a timeout?”
His response:

Just an absolute disaster of a Rui Hachimura series. Biggest difference between where the Lakers are now and a more competitive series.
