3 Years After Scandal With Girlfriend and His Career-Puncturing Injury, Nuggets Superstar Jamal Murray Gets Teary-Eyed Amid Playoffs Triumph

The top-seeding Denver Nuggets decimated the Los Angeles Lakers with a clean sweep and clinched the Western Conference title. While the team’s victory didn’t surprise fans, teary-eyed Nuggets star Jamal Murray reflected upon his hard journey, as his team reached their maiden NBA Finals. Even though Murray had an outbreak in the 2019-20 Playoffs in the bubble, the star went through a rough phase after a viral scandal with his girlfriend and a career-altering injury. 

The Nuggets dominated the postseason against all their opponents with thumping series victories. They recorded 4-1, 4-2, and 4-0 on their road to the NBA Finals. Moreover, the Siberian star, Nikola Jokic, led the team’s offense alongside Murray’s sharpshooting prowess. Meanwhile, Murray’s playoff performance reminded fans of the outbreak in the bubble, which eventually landed him the nickname, Bubble Murray.
