Jamal Murray

Jamal Murray's Biography

Jamal Murray is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA today. The 21-year old guard from Kitchener, Ontario was drafted seventh overall by the Denver Nuggets in 2016 and has since established himself as a rising star in the league. He made an immediate impact for Denver during his rookie season, averaging 9.9 points per game while shooting 37 percent from three-point range – good enough to earn him a place on NBA All-Rookie Second Team honors.

Murray continued to improve during his second season with Denver, increasing his scoring average to 16.7 points per game while making more than double the amount of threes he had made as a rookie (2.5). His stellar play would eventually lead to appearances at both 2018 Rising Stars Challenge and 2019 Skills Challenge at All-Star Weekend, where Jamal showcased not only his offensive prowess but also displayed some fancy passing skills too! Following another successful campaign with Denver, he extended his contract through 2021/22 season ensuring him that he’ll be wearing number 27 for quite some time yet!

Over the course of two seasons with the Nuggets, Jamal Murray has become one of the most efficient scorers in basketball – shooting above 40% from three point land on numerous occasions throughout this stretch whilst still being able to find ways get into paint effectively when needed (shooting over 50% within 8 feet radius). His individual performances have helped propel Denver into back-to-back postseasons and it’s easy to see why so many fans are excited about what next year could bring for their franchise star player.

Off court wise; Jamal is known for having a very relaxed personality who loves spending time playing video games or watching movies whenever possible – however he also takes great pride in giving back via charitable events such as hosting youth basketball camps or supporting local charity initiatives alongside multiple sponsorships held across North America’s leading brands like Puma & Gatorade just shows how far Murray’s influence reaches beyond just basketball related activities already!

Beyond all this though; it’s clear that Jamal Murray holds incredible talent which when combined with passion will no doubt take him places few others can imagine achieving – having already achieved so much before turning 22 years old surely means there’s plenty more left ahead for this Canadian baller…
