JAMAL Murray’s modest house in Denver is as unassuming as the Denver Nuggets star’s persona.

Despite signing a five-year, $170million contract in 2019, Murray lives in a $870,000 townhouse in the city’s Jefferson Park neighborhood.

Located just a mile from Ball Arena, the four-level residence has three-bedrooms, a small dining room and rooftop terrace with spectacular city and mountain views.

It is a far cry from many of the mega-mansions owned by fellow NBA stars.

But the house is befitting of the low-key Murray, who hails from a small town in Canada, has never been selected an NBA All-Star and is often overshadowed by Nuggets center Nikola Jokic.

Indeed, he often appears in post-match interviews in just a white T-shirt and baggy gray sweatpants.

The townhouse is a significant step up from his home for two years as a rising basketball star in Canada – the Schitt’s Creek Rosebud Motel.

Starring Eugene Levy and son Daniel Levy, the Netflix series Schitt’s Creek tells the story of the once-rich Rose family reduced to living in a ramshackle motel in a town they once bought as a joke.

The real-life Rosebud Motel was recently put up for sale by Jesse Tipping, who also is the president of the Athlete Institute Basketball Academy and Orangeville Prep.

Tipping purchased the motel in 2011 to house recruits for what has become the most successful prep school basketball program in Canada.

Murray lived there for two years before he went to Kentucky University, as did Miami Heat training camp invitee Kyle Alexander.

“[Murray] already had a local reputation as a major talent, so when he and his family chose Orangeville, it was a big deal for us. He was just so driven,” Tipping told Toronto Life.

“One day, I remember seeing him in the gym, practicing step-back three-pointers. But from, like, half-court. Just a ridiculous shot.

“He must have tried it 50 times and I thought, ‘Why are you practicing this so much? When are you ever going to shoot this shot?’

“Of course, the next weekend, we went to a tournament and he sunk that same shot to win a game. I just thought, ‘Oh my God, this kid’s special’.”

After missing the entire 2021-22 campaign following an ACL tear, Murray was overcome with emotion after winning his first NBA title earlier this week.

Murray told ESPN: “It was hard to speak. Being out two postseasons… that was everything, man. I felt so much love from everyone in this arena. To see it full circle is amazing.

“This is the first, but it’s the first of many. We knew we could do this.

“It’s just kind of popping that cherry, and having everyone locked in. We’ve proved that. I think we can do it again, we can run it back.”
