Steph Curry has achieved this feat twice (15-16 and 18-19), and now Jamal Murray joins the exclusive club. Jamal is shooting 43.5% from 3pt range this season, which is the highest among players with at least 500 3PA. He currently holds the Nuggets’ franchise record for 3PM with 245 and counting.

He is averaging 25.4 PPG, 7.1 APG and 4.4 REB this season on 48.3%/43.5%/88.7% (all career-highs except for FT %). That makes for 62.2% TS. Does Jamal have a case for 1st team All-NBA with all the injuries, or is 2nd team a better fit?

Yes, it would be well-deserved especially with the amount of players ineligible.

I think it’s a fairly impressive leaderboard anyways even if you remove the minimum of 7 3PA per game:

Ask Screwball: Players with the highest 3P% while averaging 25+ PPG in a full season

Haha yeah. Murray, the only guy other than Steph above 3 per game, awesome. Aaaand then there’s Steph with 5.1, hah

Reminds me of a few season ago when MPJ broke the Nuggets’ single-season record for 3s, with like 220. There were still a few games left in the season, so a bunch of presumably younger fans were asking, “what’s the league record, can he beat that?” and we had to be like, “Steph’s 402. So … no, he can’t”

I always loved stars who chucked it. The last fuckin 15 years I think only curry and jokic chucked it without a care for %. I made a list of guys who would chuck it and didnt a while ago because it pissed ne off when guys held it. Made me sour seeing lbj kd derozan tatum and so many others who made so much money scared to chuck it. Chucking 3s at the end of a quarter is some of the most entertaining buckets when it goes in. Props to curry for that. Fuck the stars who didnt.

I’m not too sure, I thought it was only for extreme circumstances like missing a game for childbirth or the death of a family member or something. But don’t quote me on that

I looked it up and apparently you can appeal to an independent arbiter if you get to 64.

I didnt do any deep research. So the internet could be lying to me lol

DJFreezyFish | Nuggets

It’s for extreme circumstances, but there’s no examples. Luka probably gets it because it’s a PR nightmare if missing a game for your kid being born screws him over. I don’t think Cade would usually get it, but if they’re giving it to Luka they might just give it to Cade as well.

runevault | Nuggets

What would he appeal? The only appeal that was discussed for him to my knowledge was season ending injury. He came back so clearly it wasn’t season ending. Or is there a different one?

dwrek24 | Spurs

3 | 4 hours ago

If the brief Google search was right you can just appeal for being that close. If thats true, I would honestly expect an independent arbiter to rule in his favor.

Cade didnt violate the spirit of the rule at all and the minutes should be a factor in this as well.

I love Jamal and I’m happy he’s had a season he came in healthy and ready to show how good he really is. He ain’t first team all-nba level. But if he doesn’t get second team, particularly with dudes being eliminated for the 65 game rule, I’d be surprised.

he genuinely has matured this season

Jamal Murray joins Steph Curry as the 2nd player in NBA history to shoot 43% or better from 3 (min. 7 3PA per game) while averaging 25 or more points per game. He’s been having a historically efficient 3pt shooting season, and it has been flying a little bit under the radar.
