Cupid. Artemis. Robin Hood. Katniss Everdeen. Jamal Murray. Great archers, all of them.
Murray has yet to hit his target in the heart and make her fall in love, or kill an opponent in the “Hunger Games.” Instead, Murray, a freshman guard for the University of Kentucky, regularly takes deadly aim with a basketball from nearly 21 feet away from the basket.

If Murray is William Tell, the apple atop a distant head is E.
