Even nine years later, Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is still motivated by the fact that there were teams who thought that Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn would be a better pro.

And Murray, who exploded for a game-high 43 points in the Nuggets' 131-115 win over the Clippers Tuesday night, was asked if he is still motivated by the fact that Dunn was picked before him.
