So for Jamal, All-Star is great, but it's not enough.

Just the same way a good October wasn't enough, November onward and upward for Jamal, hopefully, who would like to make All-NBA this year.

Consider it, fellas, a stated goal.

Yeah, and yeah, you're right.

A lot of those threes that OKC just made was Casey Wallace.

Your point's astute.

All the same, Murray missed his.

Felt like it was about missing shots for him.

Back in 2023, Jamal Murray told us that he plays hard, and if he ever made the All-Star team, he would play hard, just the same way he did in all these other showcases growing up.

I asked him if that was still the plan.

He said, oh, yeah.

I really kind of lost interest in All-Star, just watching whatever they're doing out there.

I'd rather go on vacation, if that's the basketball we're going to be playing,

I'm a competitor, right?

So I would like to play.

I know Wemba Nyama will play.

I know Giannis will play if he were to.

I want to be one of those guys that's known as somebody who's going to play hard every time he steps on the court.

Great quote made hilarious by the fact that Jokic is one of the biggest culprits in people not playing hard in the All-Star Game.

game but that's neither here nor there i asked are we going to see the two-man game in the all-star game and jamal said hey now hey now that'll be interesting that'll be fun we'll see if it comes to fruition and lastly my favorite answer from jamal on his relationship with nikola jokic and making the all-star game as teammates small said when looking back on the relationship he remembers quote a whole lot of won games
