Michael Malone unleashed.

Doesn't Zach Lowe do a podcast with the current Championship coach every year shortly after the finals? I want Denver to win the title and Malone to go on there and destroy ESPN for an hour.

Just focus, keep AG out of the paint and capitalize on Jokic being the GOAT offensive big man.




To be fair, inspiring a team around those narratives is one of the oldest and effective coaching tropes in the business.

Because it works, even with m/billionaire athletes.

I don't see anything wrong with that. It's his actual name after all. Michael Jordan would probably say the same thing if they called him Mike.

Even at this very moment the lead nba story is about the lakers, not nuggets.

I forgot about that lol. But still, in a more professional environment Jordan was not regularly reffered to as Mike.

That is why winning matters the most.

"You play to win the game. Hello! You play to win the game. You don't play to just play it. That's the great thing about sports, you play to win and I don't care if you have any wins, you're gonna play to win. When you start telling me it doesn't matter, then retire. Get out. Cuz it matters."


I'm so tired of the typical......

I was gonna say “like Michael” but somebody beat me to it. You’re right though but still, mr Malone just looks like a guy named mike. Michael is like the smooth version of him, ie Urkelle to Urkel
