Michael Malone will join ESPN for coverage of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Malone will appear on the "NBA Countdown" pregame show and the halftime studio show.

Malone was fired by the Nuggets, who were beaten by the Thunder in seven games, in the final week of the regular season.

David Adelman is reportedly a strong contender to become the permanent head coach of the Nuggets.

Oh, great - another obnoxious, shouting, egocentric buffoon - just what ESPN needed.

Good for him. Not saying he's some genius coach, but something about the way he was let go has never sat right with me.
