Superstar is defined in Merriam-Webster as “star (as in sports or the movies) who is considered extremely talented, has great public appeal, and can usually command a high salary.” Jamal Murray was given the salary last season when the Denver Nuggets gave him a five-year, $170 million extension, we know he’s extremely talented, and his public appeal is fantastic.
Seems to check every box and oh yeah, the eye test does not lie as well. Murray showed the entire sports world what he was about on Monday when he scored 36 points in the Nuggets game one victory over the Utah Jazz.
