Jamal Murray accepts criticism after signing a max contract: "I think I deserve them"

Jamal Murray achieved the maximum extension with Denver Nuggets after several seasons at a high level. The point guard was key to the historic NBA ring won in 2023, and in 2024, he was the best player in the 1st round series against the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, since signing the maximum contract, Murray's performance has been below expectations. This season, he is not finding his best form, and he acknowledges it. In fact, he accepts the criticisms.

"I think I deserve them, to some extent," Murray said in statements to the Denver Post. "So, I'm not going to complain about it. That's what people do. They'll talk about what they see. And if they don't see me performing as fans want me to, they'll let me know, or they'll tweet about it or whatever they are doing."

"I mean, I admit I haven't been playing well. So, it doesn't surprise me to hear it from others if I'm saying it too," adds a very mature Jamal Murray.
