    Remember it live when he went down against the Warriors that night
    I’m not even a Nuggets fan but I got a sick feeling in my stomach that night
    I was gutted for him
    Now a little over 24 months later it fills my heart with joy to see this great player and super young man doing what he loves and doing it at such a high level
    Would love to see him getting a championship
    Go get it Jamal

      I am a Nuggets fan and I remember it, he was chucking up horrible shots towards the end of the game pissing Nuggets fans off then he went down and everyone took down there negative tweets and we all cried collectively

      I’m not even a nuggets fan either, but that day man like I felt soo Badd or something like Dangg..because he had a dominant playoff performance the year before so yeah it was devastating to see that night.. and now he has a ring 💍 great comeback story❤

    Most athletes that tear the ACL don't play the same level as they did before like Klay Thompson. But I am glad Jamal Murray is proving us injury or not he can still perform like a champ!

    So glad we didn’t trade Murray. We wouldn’t be in the Finals without him. Jokic needs Murray like MJ needed Pippen and Shaq needed Kobe. Praying for a long, healthy dynasty now. This team is still young!

    Man as a big nuggets fan, At the beginning of this season I was just so excited to see Jamal and Mpj back out on the floor. One of the first games, Jokic screened jamal, jamal bounced a pocket pass right back to him on the roll, and joker kicked it to mpj in the corner for a wide open 3. I rewatched that play a good 5 times in the moment because I was so happy that we finally had our team back. I don’t know if anyone thought we would make this finals run the first healthy year back, but man, it shows how good this team can be when everyone is on the court. Let’s just sit back and enjoy this.

    The collective heart of every Nugget fan was crushed that day. I remember how high they had been flying post Aaron Gordon trade. It’s been a long journey, but what we hoped for then is present now. And it was well worth the wait. I’m glad he came back stronger

    Crazy how he didn’t even get hit hard or anything like that. Just an awkward landing leading to a major injury. I suffered an ACL tear last year & still recovering so I can feel this guy’s pain & so happy for him that it’s all bounced back this way to be able to see him perform against the best. I’m rooting for this guy & super curious about him & his meditation practice as it helped me immensely in the recovery process. Playoff Murray 💥

    • @echzen023

    Murray badly tore his acl and then proceeded to have one of the most legendary seasons ever in his comeback. His performances during the Western Conference finals and the NBA Finals were all amazing, and now he’s the NBA champion!

    Update: Operation R.M.S.S "Rocky Mountains Serbian Sasquatch"
    According to the GOAT Michael Jordan for the Heat to be able to stop Joker they need to give each Heat player at least 9 Chihuahuas trained to hunt and kill wombats, lemurs and sloths!.The Heat needs to start cooking anchovies with okra and eat it ASAP as to be able to shoot 3 pointers!.
    Jimmy's mojo got WHOOPED in game 1 but don't worry folks because eventually he will step it up in the next games by chewing Mongolian spicy sausage flavored chewing gum and if needed be he'll proudly regurgitate Serbian creamy garlic sauce into his coach mouth just in case the Heat coach gets sea sick😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂
