And a lot of questions started to come up, like, is Jamal washed?

Like, does he hurt?

Like, is he never going to be the same?

And he just, like, really took...

of where he is in his life, in his basketball career, what people are saying, how he's regarded.

He got cut out of the goddamn New Balance commercial, for God's sake.

They edited him out.

It's been so good, they made a new one.

Cameron Brink is barely featured, man.

She got cut.

She stopped playing basketball altogether.

That was the worst part, is that Cameron Brink wasn't playing basketball, but remained in the commercial where Jamal Murray was playing basketball, got cut right out.

But his approach is different in almost every single way.

From the time that he threw a heating pad onto the court to now is just like a totally different player from a maturity standpoint, from an understanding standpoint, from a leadership standpoint.

It's really refreshing to see.

It's something that I always kind of thought he had in him, but...

he was sort of yet to show it on any kind of consistent basis.

We obviously saw what he's capable of doing in the bubble, but we also know that that was the most unrealistic setting, a basketball tournament, whatever we held in, but he's kind of like gotten back to that place in an ironic way.

He's gotten back to where he was early in his career through maturity.

And I, it's just great, man.
