The Nuggets players have teeth.
They smile. They laugh. They talk.
With Michael Malone’s paranoia gone and Calvin Booth’s pettiness absent, the Nuggets are enjoying basketball again.
The Nuggets divorced from their two highest-profile employees and were awarded custody of Rocky.
Everyone is taking ownership. Except ownership. Discarding Malone and Booth without a press conference was unprofessional, but Josh Kroenke cared more about future results than showing respect.
To his credit, the Nuggets are 2-0 since the seismic shift.
Malone’s exit cast David Adelman as a Disneyland dad.
