…ummm Jokic had 27 points.
🇨🇦Canadian killing it in the NBA 🍁syrup!
Heat played unnecessary games against Celtics and they exhausted…while Nuggets were able to take a full rest till today and ready to kick some ass
Haslem should be guarding Jokić 😂
LeBron and the Lakers would have won game 1
problem with miami is bam needs to guard jokic and jokic doesn’t stay in the paint and that leaves the paint open for his teamates
Darth Mal
🇯🇲 🇯🇲 UP!!
Where are you Heat fans insisting Jimmy was gonna shut Murray down?🤣
Denver in 3. They’re that good.
Looking at it like tennis ratings and ignoring body of work, Murray is the best point guard in basketball in the world right now. Redoing the MVP and all-star selection, Jokic and Murray got completely screwed. Both emerging as one of the greatest duo's to ever play the game.
I wouldn’t categorize 26 pts as going off but he was definitely putting in the work
Jamal murray and jokic will be the greatest nuggets of all time if they stay in nuggets and winning the ring this year will boost them in all time great in nuggets
Denver Murray is a badapple
I always filter sports highlight videos < 4 mins. Who the hell wants to watch 10 minutes of highlights?
Damn
Jamal Murray is a beast. Holy crap.
Jamal Murray winning an NBA championship after tearing his ACL would be a story right out of a Rocky movie.
🥶🏹
God bless Jamal Murray!
Playoff’s Murray🔥🫡
