Jamal Murray

Everybody knows Jamal Murray can win a game with a bucket — but how about a game-saving rejection for good measure? The explosive Denver Nuggets guard had just 16 blocks during the entire 2022-23 season, with none bigger than the one Murray landed on Klay Thompson during a frenetic final few seconds against the Golden State Warriors. Murray helped his squad close in on home court advantage and the Western Conference’s top seed with a solid performance of 26 points, three rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks in a thrilling 112-110 victory on April 2, 2023.
