Jamal Murray: I want current Jamal to be better than the Bubble
Despite long, dark days of rehabs, Jamal Murray insists he knew he’d reach this level of impact. “No, no doubts,” he said. “I want current Jamal to be better than the Bubble. Once we get to that, then everyone will stop getting on my back about, ‘Am I here or not?’”

Want to make Jamal Murray mad? Just ask him if he’s back. It’s a question he doesn’t know how to answer. Murray does know, though, that his internal expectations, post-ACL, haven’t dropped.
“I want current Jamal to be better than the Bubble,” he told me.

Michael Malone says that nearly the entire starting lineup is OUT tonight against Milwaukee.

A bit shocked that Aaron Gordon is not listed as out as well. Could certainly use the time off. – 6:41 PM

More on this storyline
“I’m obviously here,” he said, laughing. “Everybody’s going to be comparing me to me, and what I’ve done … All I can do is keep progressing.” What he did in the Bubble, with multiple 50-point games and a level of confidence bordering on unhinged, would be an outlandish standard to achieve. And yet, Murray is unfazed. “I can’t control (the comparisons),” he said. “That wasn’t even the best. That’s just the best I’ve shown. I know that there are more levels to my game than that.” -via Denver Post / January 28, 2023
“It’s not make or break for me whether I make All-Star,” he said. “I’m trying to win the championship. … I don’t want to shoot at All-Star, not make it, and all the sudden my mental is down because I didn’t make it or something. I already know I’m one of the best here. I have that confidence. I don’t need validation to know that.” -via Denver Post / January 28, 2023
