All star performance
So much for the haters claiming that Jamal Murray is a “JOKIC MERCHANT”!
Jokic's teammates＞＞Doncic's teammates
Jamal did it for Bo
The Nuggets are . 700 without jokic and . 687 with him on the court
Best point guard in the league right now
❤
Embarrassing Nuggets effort against a completely garbage team. I get the amount of virtually playoff energy and intensity the Nuggets have had to play with to survive this incredible stretch of injuries. But this was the worst effort they've had over the last 3 weeks or so. Washington is complete, utter trash. Glad for the W but if they play this way tomorrow v Charlotte they'll get blown out.
All nba player
An investigation needs to be launched into Jokic MVPs. Not only MPJ now Murray and Peyton watson. Hes the Statpadding MVP nothing more.
42 is the answer to life. Best PG in the NBA at the moment ??
One of my favorite jump shots
Not just Murray but MPJ, Gordon, and Watson are all incredible the moment Jokic is gone. It's just that the Nuggets of course built around Jokic are not going to flow well when the star of the system is not there, but individually they've all been great. People have been saying the Nuggets need a better team but the truth is maybe an unathletic Center who defensively, only plays for rebounds and passing lanes is the problem.
All star him already
rise rise rise!

All Star or not, doesn't really matter anymore especially in the modern day NBA. Salute to the great Jamal Murray
