Even the great Manu Ginobili, who was known to convert some crazy lay-ups in his time, had nothing but praises for Jamal Murray's basket:
That was one of the coolest layups I've ever seen. ššš #Murray

The Canadian has been showcasing quite an array of highlights in the Nuggets' playoff run so far this year. This latest one comes in a pivotal Game 4 where Denver is trying to even the series against the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. LA has been in control for most of the game but momentum-swinging plays like this have helped Jamal Murray and the Nuggets stay in the game.
It's been quite a rollercoaster ride for the fourth-year guard out of Kentucky. In just his second playoff appearance, he's led the Nuggets to a historic run this year as Denver pulled off an improbably comeback from 3-1 down in two consecutive match-ups against the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers. Now, Jamal Murray wants to make sure that their story doesn't end yet as he tries to bring the Nuggets to the NBA Finals.
