Jamal Murray has proven throughout his career that he shows up when it matters most, but the NBA schedule release does the Denver Nuggets' point guard no favors when it comes to the thing that he has most often been criticized for. Murray is one of the biggest playoff risers in NBA history, but he is well known for his slow starts. These early-season blunders have prevented Murray from ever making the All-Star Game.
Nuggets fans have grown to live with the fact that Murray is one of the best players in league history without an All-Star appearance to his name, but All-Star recognition would still be something nice to look back at on Murray's resume when it is all said and done.
