Jamal Murray: 'If I didn't have that mindset going into rehab, I wouldn't be as strong or capable as I am now'
You overcame a major injury to get there. What advice would you give to anyone who might be dealing with the same? Jamal Murray: While going through rehab, I just tried to set goals for myself, like, “OK, when I come back, I want to jump higher. I want to have a little quicker first step.” There were days in the weight room when I didn’t want to be there, or my knee was sore. But, even if I couldn’t do it then, I’d do it later. I had that mindset of always working for something. I didn’t want to get complacent. Honestly, if I didn’t have that kind of mindset going into the rehab, I don’t think I would be as strong or capable as I am now — that mentality of wanting to be better meant I had to be scared of what would happen. I asked myself, “What if I don’t do the rehab properly?” which motivated me.

Jamal Murray has taken Julian Strawther under his wing.
He’s been giving Strawther the “inside scoop,” as Murray put it, on scoring against NBA defenses.
Because he knows what Denver has in the rookie.
“I know his capability to score,” Murray said.

More on this storyline
Because we like to have fun, we have to ask: If you could be any superhero for a day, what hero are you picking? Why? Jamal Murray: I’m a big fan of Iron Man, OK? I think Iron Man would be super cool. I also would want something that’s not quite like mind reading but along those lines. Maybe something that slows down time or teleportation. -via For The Win / October 19, 2023
“He’s much better. Not even close. I think he’s much better,” the Serbian superstar said.. Jokic further elaborated on the changes he has observed in Murray’s style of play, noting his increased maturity, experience, and enhanced ability to pace the game. “Mature, experienced, slow the games. I think just because of the injury slow him down, so he needed to read a little bit better. Maybe it sounds stupid, but I the injury helped him,” he said about Murray. -via TalkBasket / October 17, 2023
