The Denver Nuggets are celebrating the franchise's first NBA title, but their Western Conference final foe is still seemingly top of mind.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone hinted at LeBron James on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Wednesday. When asked about the coverage Denver received during its sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference final, Malone had a cheeky comeback.
"Speaking of the Lakers, I just want you guys to know this is breaking news: I'm thinking about retiring. Only kidding, only kidding."
This, of course, was a reference to James saying he will consider retirement this offseason after the Lakers' 113-111 Game 4 loss.
