Jamal Murray takes MMA training from Alexander Volkanovski for a transformative move, stunning Doris Burke and fans

Jamal Murray may struggle with shootouts this season, but his ability to deliver unforgettable moments is alive and well. Under one NBA Cup clash against the Mavericks, the Nuggets star turned heads — not with his jumper, but with an astonishing display of reflexes, catching a fly in the middle of the game and earning instant applause. Here’s how fans reacted to this unexpected highlight.

Murray’s fly-catching moment leaves fans and Doris Burke in awe

Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray may be a little off with his shooting this season, but his reflexes are sharper than ever. During an NBA Cup matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, Murray left ESPN’s Doris Burke and fans speechless by grabbing a fly mid-game and calmly placing it courtside. Talk about precision.
The surreal moment, captured on ESPN, prompted Burke to say, “He just gave me a fly… It’s the incredible MMA training his dad gave him as a kid.” While the MMA claim may be up for debate, Murray’s connection to the UFC star is Alexander Volkanovsky isn’t it. Last year, he impressed fans by holding his own in a friendly match with the former featherweight champion, refusing to tap out of a naked choke. (via: EssentiallySports)
Fans lit up the comments section with hilarious reactions to Murray’s ninja-like reflexes. Even in a challenging season, the Nuggets guard proves that he is always a showstopper. Let’s see the funniest fan footage.

Jamal Murray is mesmerizing the NBA world with fly-catching moves

The NBA never fails to surprise its fans, but tonight wasn’t about dazzling dunks or game-winning shots. Jamal Murray’s quick reflexes stole the show and got reactions that lit up social media. One fan humorously said, “FLYING HIGH! Jamal Murray has skills on and off the court! Who knew he’d be handing out flies to Doris Burke? Only in the NBA!”
While Murray’s quick move sent fans into a frenzy, it wasn’t the first time an NBA player showed offbeat skills. Back in 2009, former Spurs star Manu Ginobili famously hit a bat out of the air during a game against the Kings, turning a bizarre layup into a legendary moment. As one fan wisely put it, “Ginobili catches bats, Murray catches flies.”
However, not all fans were impressed with Murray’s antics. One disappointed Nuggets supporter wrote: “Can bro do that but not miss a free throw? Crazy job.” Despite Murray’s 4-for-16 shooting night, he hit two free throws, keeping the game competitive.
Others took the opportunity for light-hearted banter, suggesting that Murray’s fly-catching was an attempt to impress Doris Burke. One fan joked, “Jamal Murray with that smart assist… to Doris Burke?! What a move!” Burke, known for his sharp observations, even praised Murray’s childhood training with his father, adding an extra layer of charm to the quirky incident.
Moments like these remind fans that the NBA is more than just basketball; it is a stage for the unexpected.
