Stephen A. says Jamal Murray is ‘ELITE’ & ‘ SPECIAL’ after Nuggets win over Warriors | NBA Countdown

Man Murray had a game high 28 yic had 26 points 14 rebounds and eight assists and don’t look now but the Nuggets they’ve won five straight eight of their last 10 games so Stephen A should we be talking about them as the favorites to repeat no

We shouldn’t not as long as the Boston Celtics are who they are what I will say this we should be talking about them being the favorites in the west we should be talking about the road to the NBA finals having to go through Denver in the Western Conference particularly

When Jamal Murray looks like that this brother when he is healthy he is Elite he is special and to today he was showing some of it 28 points with 10 and 18 shooting three of five from three-point range the ball handling skills the passing ability the shooting ability the fearlessness the

Marksmanship he has it and when we look at the Denver Nuggets as reigning defending NBA champions We need to remind ourselves it ain’t just because of joic because joic has always been spectacular but for a couple of years when he was spectacular and was winning MVPs it didn’t mean a damn thing because

Jamal Murray was hurt he wasn’t there to help him and he went home Jamal Murray comes back and he’s healthy enough not even 100% And they win it all this brother is special and you got to pay attention to Denver in the west and and that’s why they’re the favorite they’re

The Champs we’ve seen the Celtics fail at this the Celtics we’ve seen them I mean Tatum and and brown have been to the Conference Finals at least four times and lost four times plain and simple the Celtics have to yeah at least the Conference Finals the Celtics have

To prove they can win this Denver’s done it so there’s don’t tell me there’s no doubt in the Celtics mind as Stephen A I agree with you and again roster person forp person is Celtics like the best team in the league I want to see in June the Celtics break through that point

Which he want broke through but these guys have not you see this is why I be want my predictions to be fluid I be want to be flz cuz listening the willb this is why I was so hesitant to to jump on the Celtics cuz I said I

Haven’t seen Pingas in the pressure moments but I know what Jason Tatum could do I know what jayen brown could do and I know what Drew holiday could do along with Derek white right but when I think about the Denver Nuggets they got great dep we forget when Reggie Jackson

And DeAndre Jordan look like Kobe and Shaq about a month ago when they went downers yeah when no Aaron Gordon no Y is no muray like so let me ask you this perk in the west if Stephen A is saying we should be talking about the Nuggets

Is the favorit come out of the West who is the Western team that can give them the hardest time you know what I would actually have to say the Clippers to be honest with agree with that I’m agree with I was going to say Clippers are maybe I mean the Minnesota Tiber wolves

Are built I know who I do not believe Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown gets back to an NBA finals and lose again I don’t believe it we’ll see I don’t believe it I I totally understand I’m not I’m not believing that’s going to happen let’s not forget about one other team in the

West that could give them for a rough time I’m not going to say they would beat him could [Applause] [Applause] Sacramento

  1. Hilarious that the narrative coming out of this game is already that the officials handed the game to the Nuggets by putting Joker on the line so much. This is the same Jokic that shoots far fewer free throws than any star player in league history and the Nuggets are at the bottom of the league in free throw attempts. It's also the same Jokic that lives in the paint and gets hacked multiple times a possession, especially by the Warriors who have no chance whatsoever to guard him. He got officiated today the way Embiid gets officiated every night.

  2. All these guys can’t stand a white guy being this good, let’s just say it. Shannon, perk, Stephen a try and control the narrative. Embiid has gone to the line more than double joker does every night. Sometimes Embiid literally shoots high 20’s in free throws they don’t even bring it up. It’s a shame politics involved in nba or sports in general

  3. Murray is 19.8 PPG. Can someone tell SAS what the word ELITE means. Elites are All NBA first team guys. I love JM, but he ain’t that.

  4. Wilbon & Perk tryna disagree with SAS so bad, but gotta be careful cuz they job on the line 😂

    Completely agree the favorites to win the nba championship are and should be the Denver Nuggets. Adding Jrue Holiday and Porzingis is huge but it’s not enough to pass a PROVEN championship team AND with the best player in the league who has been there done that. If the Celtics beat the nuggets in the finals then they will be kings until then it belongs to a team in Denver cmon now bruh.

    And why Stephen A. Smith look so angry, you talking about basketball lighten up dawg it’s not that deep lol

  5. Can we for the love of god stop talking bout the clippers being a championship caliber team when they have proven that they are not that me honestly I would say the t-wolves would be a big threat or even the suns when they are healthy
