As the Nuggets wrapped up their third day of training camp at CU Boulder, a figure who looms larger than the Flatirons ambled onto the practice court.

Deion Sanders, or Coach Prime, commands attention now as he did in his playing days. And all eyes were on him as he addressed the Nuggets.

Sanders, presumably, has a perspective worth sharing on competing at the highest level, even if he built his legacy in another sport altogether.

Whatever was shared is between him and the team for now, but perhaps they can bring him back for some tips on jamming receivers at the line, the exact analogy that Cam Johnson used when describing Denver’s new approach to transition defense.

Denver’s crash-heavy scheme is emerging as the top storyline through three days at camp.
