Jamal Murray brings championship mentality to Canada while working back to form in camp

Even in the offseason, Jamal Murray enjoys keeping his winning attitude.

After finishing his NBA season on June 13, the Kitchener, Ontario native and Denver Nuggets guard is in training camp this week with the Canadian meп’s senior basketball team. As the FIBA Meп’s Basketball World Cup approaches, the team is gearing up for the competition.

Saying, “It’s fun to just have that mindset year-round,” he continued, “that’s fun.” It’s difficult to mentally withstand all that intensity, but that’s part of what makes sports so exciting to watch.

And we adore competing with one other; even when we’re exhausted, we keep going, and in the process, we improve ourselves and challenge one another. That’s what makes us unique as a team: no matter the weather or how we feel, we always find a way to go to practice and push each other to our physical limits.Murray has also been embracing life as a champion over the past six weeks.

“I’m just riding the wave for the time being,” he remarked. For the first time in a long time, I get to spend time with my loved ones and hang out with my bros back in my hometown. Just about speechless here. It’s been a roller coaster ride of a year, and it’s hard to sum it all up.

Truthfully, it’s always increasing, and each day brings something new. When asked when it Һit him, he said, “Everybody’s saying “champ,” it don’t get old.” I never forget how far we’ve come. Nothing can ever take away what we accomplished together.Murray, who wore jersey number four and occasionally shot free throws with his non-dominant hand, was the last player to practice before meeting with reporters on Wednesday at Toronto’s OVO Athletic Centre.

The Canadian team’s World Cup preparation camp began on Tuesday and will end on Sunday. The tournament runs from August 25th to September 10th.

Group H play begins for Canada (ranked 15th) on August 25 against France, followed by matches against Lebanon (August 27) and Latvia (August 29) in Jakarta, Indonesia. Manila, Philippines will host the tournament’s final round.

To qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Canada needs to place in the top two of the Americas bracket out of a total of 32 teams.Murray has promised to instill a winning attitude among the squad.

Every day, just bring it. The meп have known me for a long time, and they know that when I sаy I’m going to play, I actually do. A lot of the people we have are the same way, so I’m just trying to lay it all on the line.

Simply “bring that intensity and focus,” “challenge guys offensively and defensively,” and “just have fun with the game,” as the saying goes.
