No one and I mean no one is feeling themselves more than Nuggets head coach Michael Malone. The Nuggets coach is enjoying the moment as he drinks and celebrates his first championship as a head coach.
When asked if Bruce Brown, who can opt out of his deal and become a free agent, will leave in the offseason, Malone emphatically said, “Hell no. Hey, we’re running this shit back.”
