The Warriors forward tips his cap to the Spurs' rising star.

SAN ANTONIO — Spurs' Dejounte Murray put together an incredible game against the Warriors Saturday night with 22 points and 12 rebounds to help pace San Antonio to the 112-107 road win.

Murray's emergence this season is getting attention as he is posting career-highs in points (19.1), rebounds (8.6), and assists (8.3)

His play is so impressive that some think he could be in the mix for his first All-Star nod.

And one NBA All-Star is appreciating what Murray is doing this season.

This isn't the first time a member of the Warriors did this for Murray.

Murray's stock is on the rise and what he is doing this season is remarkable.

He was the first Spur to have multiple triple-doubles in the same season since David Robinson did in 1993-94 (4), and on Nov. 27, he reached 1,500 career rebounds, joining Alvin Robertson as the only two Spurs to post 2,500 points, 1,500 rebounds and 1,000 assists in their first 300 games.
