Lake Buena Vista, Fla. — His will brought the Nuggets back from the dead. But it was his skill — 42 points, is that any good? — that allowed Denver to avoid NBA playoff elimination. In the Nuggets’ 117-107 victory over Utah on Tuesday, Jamal Murray created a little Disney magic of his own.
Not that anybody in America outside of the Rocky Mountains has noticed.
If his name were Luka, would this league love Murray more?
Murray laced up his sneakers in honor of Black lives lost. It’s a cause bigger than basketball for the young Nuggets guard.
