Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets just put Frank Ntilikina of the New York Knicks in a poster.
Check out the clip below posted by NBA TV. Slow motion replay shows that Ntilikina had a good chance of swatting the dunk. But Murray just had more fuel to his fire.

It's been a great season so far for Murray, the seventh overall pick by the Nuggets in the 2016 NBA Draft. He's had several scoring outbursts this season. In their 115-107 win over the Boston Celtics on Nov. 5, he notched a career-high 48 points. And just the other night, in their 122-118 victory over the Phoenix Suns, he dropped 46 points which included nine makes from downtown out of 11 attempts.
On his red-hot night, Murray reiterated that the 3-pointer is his most lethal weapon.
Per Mike Singer of the Denver Post:
āItās my greatest threat, and it hasnāt been falling all season,ā Murray said. āOnce it starts falling, Iām gonna have more nights like this.ā
In his third year in the NBA, one can tell that the 21-year-old Murray has figured things out. His efforts have powered the Nuggets to a 23-11 record for first in the dreaded Western Conference. With plays like the one above, one can assume that Murray's confidence is at an all-time high.
