  • 2013 Jordan Brand Classic

    By ADAM ZAGORIA

    NEW YORK — It’s unfair to compare any young Canadian player to Andrew Wiggins, but  remember the name Jamal Murray.

    The 6-foot-4 2016 point guard from Kitchener (Ontario) Grand River Collegiate Institute went for 24 points and 7 rebounds en route to team MVP honors as the White team lost to the Black team, 76-72, in the Jordan Brand International Game at Barclays Center.

    “I don’t think there will be another Andrew Wiggins,” Murray, who went 3-for-8 from the arc and 7-for-7 from the line, said after the game. “I think everybody is their own person. I don’t feel there’s a next LeBron James. I think well, he’s the next person that’s coming up that’s like LeBron James. He can’t be the same guy. There’s always things that are different in people’s games.”
