Bennett Durando is the Colorado Avalanche beat writer for The Denver Post. Before taking on his first NHL beat, he covered SEC football and other sports for five years, first at his alma mater, Missouri, for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Columbia Missourian, then Auburn for the Montgomery Advertiser.
Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets is introduced during the team’s ring ceremony before the first quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers at Ball Arena in Denver on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
Looking forward, Murray’s biggest competition in the legacy race is another Kentucky Wildcat born 16 months after him, also drafted as a mid-lottery pick. Murray already has a ring and remains an offensive fulcrum for a team that has him positioned to win multiple more before his career is over. The biggest knock on Nash is that he never won a title as a player. But Murray isn’t going to win two MVPs, much less one. After all, he’s still seeking his first All-Star and All-NBA honors.
The issue here is the Nuggets truly do model themselves after their leader, and that’s Nikola Jokic. The extent of attitude you see from him on the court is the occasional baffled expression directed at a referee. He’s one of the least boisterous superstars the NBA has had in years, and his teammates absolutely notice that.
This isn’t to say the Nuggets lack personality. I actually think Jamal Murray has a knack for indirectly getting under opponents’ skin simply with his demeanor and dramatic facial expressions. But right now, I don’t have an answer for you in terms of explicit trash talk.
