Jamal Murray’s emotional postgame interview after scoring 50 in Game 6 was so powerful

“Even though these people are gone they give me life, they help me find strength to keep fight in this world.”

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray had another huge game Sunday night as he scored 50 points and helped force a Game 7 against the Utah Jazz. But his live interview seconds after the game on TNT was much more powerful than anything he did on the court during the game.

Murray has been a force in this series, scoring over 40 points in each of the last there games. After the game he spoke about what he’s playing for and why everything the NBA has been doing in the bubble means so much for society.

Murray wore special shoes for Game 6 that had the faces of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor on them and when asked about his performance he spoke about why this all means so much more than wins and losses in a basketball game.
