On today’s show, Adam Mares visits with Kirk Henderson of Mavs Moneyball to discuss a theory on roster building around Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic. Like LeBron James, both players are capable of doing most of the heavy lifting for a team on the offensive end. So is talent actually the wrong way to look at roster building around them?…

1. PJ Dozier has the physical tools and feel for the game to be a very good and versatile defender. Both things were on display in the clip below as Dozier attacks his man on the closes out but manages to stay in front of him on the drive. His length allows him to wall off the easy angle at…...
I’ll never forget the look of shock and disbelief on Jamal Murray’s face. Forty-five minutes before the Nuggets tipped off against the Houston Rockets, he learned that Kobe Bryant was among nine people killed Sunday in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. Nuggets director of player development John Beckett approached Murray, who didn’t play Sunday but was going through his…
Laura Keeney used to be a storyteller. Her brain was a vault of information that stored hundreds of anecdotes and facts which she used to cover the aerospace and aviation beat for the Denver Post from 2014-16. She reported on everything from Mars’ atmosphere to Frontier Airlines. Now, Keeney is lucky if she remembers what she had to eat 24…

On a humid summer morning in Hyattsville, Maryland, Jerami Grant is back where it all began. Before capturing gold at the FIBA Americas in 2012, before providing a spark off the bench as a freshman for Syracuse on the way to the Final 4, and years before securing a three-year, $27 million contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder last…

1. Will Barton had a couple of finishes at the rim that provided some hope that he was back to trusting himself to absorb contact and contort is body without overthinking it. When healthy, Barton is a crafty finisher at the rim. He’s great at using his off hand and hanging in the air long enough to twist and turn…
Welcome to “What makes this play great,” a brand new series I will be doing here at DNVR in which I break down in detail a single play, moment, or sequence from a Denver Nuggets game and explain all of the subtle details that you might’ve missed the first time around.

I’m a stalker. As hard as that is to admit, it’s true. Here’s the facts of it… I’ve been stalking DNVR/BSN for a few years now, and it’s time I placed the blame. I’d like to accept responsibility, but honestly… it’s 100% Harrison Wind’s fault. Spending the last several years at a cross-town competitor, you tend to pay attention to…

LAS VEGAS — Terence Davis stood in front of around 50 friends and family members who had packed a hotel conference room in Southaven, Mississippi on the night of June 20 and delivered a speech that no one wanted to hear. He wasn’t going to be among the 60 players selected in the 2019 NBA Draft, like those who sat…
Eyes misty, shoulders slumped, head facing the floor, Nikola Jokic lingered at his locker like a gray cloud minutes after the Denver Nuggets’ dream season came to an end. Joker, as Mike Miller nicknamed him as a wisecracking rookie, wearing only compression shorts decorated with fishing lures, couldn’t mask his dejection. It mattered little that he’d just scored 29 points…

Much like rappers who keep their ears to the ground for the next hot sound, basketball coaches watch games to see what they can repurpose as their own. In 2014, not long after Drake released a remix of Migos’ “Versace” and began incorporating the Atlanta trio’s ratatat flow into his own music, Michael Malone, then in his first and only full…
