Keeler: Fire Nuggets coach Michael Malone? Ha! Best move Stan Kroenke, Josh Kroenke never made. “There aren’t very many Michael Malones.”

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:15:29 GMT

Michael Malone’s already been fired more times than Homer Simpson and George Jetson combined.Metaphorically, but still. That Game 82 crusher in ’18? Gone. That Portland heartache during the Western semis in ’19? Gone. That Suns sweep in ’21? Gone. Gone. Gone.Guess what, Mr. Spacely? Canning Malone was the best move the Nuggets never made.Denver’s goner is now the fourth-longest tenured coach in the NBA. He’s got the Nuggets, America’s little franchise that couldn’t, into their first-ever NBA Finals. He’s soaring at altitude, four victories away from basketball’s highest summit.“There aren’t a lot of Michael Malones,” former NBA coach and longtime ESPN analyst P.J. Carlesimo told me as the Heat practiced Wednesday at Ball Arena on the eve of Nuggets-Miami Game 1.“But there are a number of coaches in this league that could’ve been a lot more successful if they had the kind of cooperation and support that the Denver administration and ownership has given Michael. And he deserves ...

How Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic found his voice and conquered final frontier of his basketball maturation

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:15:29 GMT

The Nuggets had just shredded the Lakers’ vaunted defense, and Nikola Jokic’s basketball soul was satisfied. But in trying to assign a word to Denver’s surgical 30-assist, five-turnover showing in Game 3 against Los Angeles in the Western Conference Finals, Jokic stumbled into a rare misstep.“Not poison,” he said before a reporter coaxed an apt description out of him.“Contagious,” said Jokic, settling on a plausible through line for someone speaking a second language.“I love it. I think that’s the best brand of basketball.”Now eight years into his Hall-of-Fame-bound career, Jokic is more comfortable speaking than he’s ever been. With his singular intuition and preternatural court vision already established, the final frontier of Jokic’s basketball maturation was always his voice.With it, he could share his wisdom and wield even more influence over the game than he already did. Late in Game 3, Jokic tapped into it.That’s when Jokic took over the timeout huddles and explicitly c...

Nuggets Journal: In reaching NBA Finals, Canada’s Jamal Murray a “pioneer” in more ways than one

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:15:29 GMT

The first question Jamal Murray fielded on the eve of Game 1 of the NBA Finals elicited a transcontinental fist pump.Frankly, it was more a statement than a question. Murray was told of a watch party in his hometown of Kitchener, Ontario. Even just the mention of his hometown brought immense joy to the Canadian’s face.“I’ve had a lot of friends text me about the watch parties, gathering around,” Murray said. “The support has been crazy back home. That means a lot, especially from a small town like Kitchener. … Be back there in the summer, see my friends and family. But, yeah, no one from Kitchener has made (it) this far, so it’s nice to be a pioneer in that sense.”One could call Murray a pioneer simply by choosing basketball over hockey, high tops over skates.To hear Murray explain it, there was never really a conflict.“I always loved basketball,” he said. “Couldn’t afford the equipment for hockey at the time. Basketball was the easiest thing to give me. Yeah, I ju...

How journaling helped Nuggets’ Michael Porter Jr. handle anxiety surrounding injury, contract

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:15:29 GMT

The source of Michael Porter Jr.’s anxiety and anguish was both inhibiting him and supporting him, but he only considered it one of those ways.A brace he wears on his left leg is the byproduct of the three back surgeries that have hindered various junctures of his career. Porter hated it. Then he learned to live with it by writing about it.“I used to be very upset and mad that I didn’t feel like I was playing out there the way I wanted to play. I always looked at that brace as a downfall,” the Nuggets sharpshooter told The Post. “Journaling made me thankful for it.”As MPJ prepares to make his NBA Finals debut Thursday as a starter for the best team in the West, he’s reflected on the methods that galvanized his return from a chronic injury — first and foremost, a practice he calls “gratitude journaling.” Throughout the season, his father has noticed “a measure of peace” in Porter that was unfamiliar in recent years. The playoffs are proof. Porter enters the Finals vs. the Miami Heat ...
