Aaron Gordon is still a bit confused as to why his Nuggets teammate Jamal Murray didn’t earn an All-Star nomination.

In addition to being one of the top teams in the league this year, the Denver Nuggets are the reigning NBA champions. Despite this, Nikola Jokic is the only member of the Nuggets team that is going to the NBA All-Star game.

Jokic was almost a lock to be selected as an All-Star because he is once again the front-runner for the NBA MVP award. The Nuggets also feature Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray as standout players. But neither was selected as an All-Star.

Peyton Watson, who is in his second year in the league, has shown serious flashes of greatness. Still, he wasn’t selected to play at the NBA Rising Stars game either.

Aaron Gordon was asked about the All-Star snubs for the Nuggets, and he finds it a bit confusing, via Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports.

“I don’t know why that is. Not entirely sure,” Gordon said. “That’s a mystery to me. Doesn’t make any sense,”

This season Murray has averaged 20.5 points per game, 3.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists. Gordon still believes Murray should have gotten more consideration for the All-Star game, via DNVR.

“(Jamal Murray) definitely should have been an All-Star this year,” said Gordon.

Murray on the other hand isn’t too bummed about not being selected. In fact, he’d much rather be a champion than be an All-Star, via Sam Amick of The Athletic.

“I’m an All-Star when you need the All-Star to show up – in the playoffs,” said Murray. “I haven’t made it for so long, and I’m a champion. And I’m on the best team in the world playing with the best player in the world (Jokic).”
