Jamal Murray Gets Honest on Nikola Jokic's Dominance
There aren't many people in the world who have had a better front-row seat to Nikola Jokic's dominance besides Jamal Murray. Just last night, Murray witnessed Jokic put up a phenomenal triple-double of 31 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists on 68/75/100 shooting.
Eight years into their partnership, and Murray realizes Jokic's dominance is just an everyday thing for the two-time MVP.
"It's just an everyday thing for him," Murray said. "We play through him so much and he just makes the right read constantly every game. It’s less about the numbers for me, the consistency of how much attention he draws and the plays he makes, I think that’s what stands out most to me. I think that's what people don't give him enough credit for. Even if he has a bad game or two, it's like so what, he does such an amazing job each and every night, just controlling the pace of the game or making big plays. He's the greatest in the game."
One thing that sticks out most in Murray's statement is that it's less about the numbers and more about the consistency of how much attention Jokic draws. It's very rare for Nikola Jokic to make the wrong play in a situation, he somehow always finds the right option. Even if Jokic or the person he passes it to misses a shot, it's still almost always the right play. That's what makes Nikola Jokic special.
