Murray had a heck of a summer
With Canada's seven-day training camp winding down, his first opportunity to be around the full senior squad, the young point guard recalled some of his personal highlights from the week that was.
One stood out: a game of H-O-R-S-E with a certain two-time NBA MVP and future Hall of Famer.
"I mean, I wasn't thinking smart," Murray joked, telling the story in a sit-down interview with TSN this past weekend.
Steve Nash debuted for the Canadian National Team four years before Murray was born. Murray was still in the womb when Nash played his first NBA game, eight years old when Nash won his first MVP award. Now here they were - Captain Canada and the kid, facing off, attempting to replicate each other's shots.
The 41-year-old Nash would come out on top, but just barely.
"I [chose] free throws," said Murray, embarrassed. "And [then] I was like, 'Wait a minute, he's like a 98-per-cent free throw shooter.' I'm like, 'What [am I] doing?'"
