NBA Denver Nuggets pro Jamal Murray had an outstanding performance in the NBA finals after incorporating VertiMax equipment into his basketball training regimen to increase vertical jump and explosive strength. Murray is a point guard for the Denver Nuggets.
During the Western Conference series leading up to the finals, Murray dunked six times in three series as the Denver Nuggets conquered the competition. Then, in the first quarter of the NBA Finals, he had two more dunk shots.
After game 1 of the NBA finals, Aaron Gordon was asked about Jamal Murray’s dunks in the first quarter.
“I know I was surprised I was like WHOA My guy got VertiMax. I did not think he was gonna dunk that, but Jamal's a sleepy athletic. He will dunk you, for real. That was crazy. All vert.”

“Jamal is a talented player. He can score in a number of ways,” said Heat guard Gabe Vincent, who saw the bulk of the Murray matchup in Game 1. “I think one of the things that makes him difficult to guard is when he gets off the ball, and then you have to deal with the cuts, and he's circling back. And they know — they’re looking for him. So when he's off the ball, you already know the ball is going to end up in his hands at some point.”
Murray felt the benefits of earning an extended layoff by wrapping up the Western Conference finals in the minimum four games.
“Had nine days off,” a smiling Murray said after the game, patting his clearly fresh legs for emphasis. “So [I] got to show off my little left leg over there.”
“I wasn't sure what was going to happen when the game started, because we had such a long break,” Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said. “But I'm not surprised that Jamal had the game that he had. He got us going early, made big shots late. And when you have 26 points, 10 assists and six rebounds, that's a hell of a performance in your first game of the NBA Finals.”
