My Take
Mike Malone earns my admiration the way grinders always do. A New Yorker who came up through Loyola Maryland rather than any star-player pedigree, he coached the Kings and then the Nuggets, finally delivering Denver its first-ever NBA championship in 2023. I love stories where someone reaches the summit on intelligence and persistence instead of glamour. Coaching is thankless, demanding the nerve to bind a roster together and make it win, and he did exactly that. The look on his face when that title finally came felt like years of work paying off all at once, and I find that genuinely moving.
