Evin Gualberto's video: Jamal Murray - Fantastic Finisher Primetime Playoff Performer

Jamal Murray notched 26.5 points per game on 50.5/45.3/89.7 shooting splits while also averaging 4.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game throughout these playoffs with a usage rate in the 82nd percentile (according to Cleaning the Glass). Murray’s 3 game run of 50-42-50 in the first round marked the first time a player had scored THREE straight 40 point games in a series since Michael Jordan did it in 1993 - Jamal Murray was born in 1997. Murray and Donovan Mitchell joined Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson as the ONLY other players in the history of the league to have MULTIPLE 50 point games in a single playoff series. If you combine games 4 and 5 against Utah in the first round, Jamal tallied 92 points on 35-57 shooting (13-23 from three) with 19 rebounds and 15 assists and most importantly ZERO turnovers. The Canadian sensation also had FOUR 40 point playoff games in this postseason alone. His fourth - in a GAME 7 no less, made him the second youngest player in NBA history to score 40 points in a game 7. The youngest was LeBron James. There’s not much more to say besides that Murray’s shot making was mesmerizing. He had one of the more memorable and magical playoff runs of recent memory. This is a video on his many fantastic finishes throughout the Nuggets thrill ride of a postseason (and a pair of clips from the seeding games - but that’s it). It starts with the brilliance of his balance, inspired by Bruce Lee, the Blue Arrow has a background in martial arts. The footwork that is the very foundation of his game also stems from the studies the kid from Kitchener had in Kung Fu. Jamal is surprisingly strong despite his slight frame and that allows him to choose whether he will finish with force or finesse when he flusters defenders with his forays to the rim. Again, this video is purely about his finishing - so expect more to come. https://in.nba.com/news/by-the-numbers-jamal-murrays-historic-postseason-in-five-stats/3zt8ee2wck761jarriqebrtqe https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/murraja01/gamelog/2020/ If you'd like to support me: Venmo - @Evin_Gual Cash App - $EvinGual Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/evin_gual
