I'll be covered the Never Nuggets for 14 seasons. This is my 14 season cover the Nuggets as a credentialed reporter. Okay. Let's talk about Jamal Murray. So I have said for a long time that Jamal Murray, the Jamal Murray is 21 and 6.

That's why he's averaged. In 2024, he averaged 21 points and 6.5 assists.

In 2025, he averaged 21 points and six assists. In 20206 so far, he's averaging 23 points per game and 7 assists per game.

He's also doing it on 47.7% from the field.

He's doing it on 39% from 3 point range, including the most 3-pointers per game that he has taken,

that he has made per game in his career

and taken in his career. He is still shooting 89% from the line. He's an incredibly reliable

shooter at the line. And he's been absolutely phenomenal. Jamal's been terrific this season overall.

He's had a lot of big games. He was great in that game on Monday versus the Grizzlies.

You're starting to see it more and more. And there's a lot of conversation about Jamal Marie being an all-star this season.

And I think that he's shaping it for it to happen. When I started looking at kind of like what the board looks like for all-star, because this is always the problem.

It's not about how good I think you are. I think lots of guys are good enough to be an all-star.

But I also think that you got to be able to choose them over guys.

Now, the format this year is the weird thing, right?
