sports, guitars and art. don't follow





Calvin Booth believes four factors converged to cost him his job with Denver. First, the Nikola Jokic effect: when you have the best player in the world, everything else gets taken for granted. Second, the friction between a tenured champion coach and a first-time GM. Third, ownership. Booth believes the Kroenke family, for all its success across sports, doesn’t place the same value on front-office executives that other organizations do. And fourth: “I think I just made it look too easy.” He elaborated: “Anybody that’s really good at something, when they make it look easy, that was really, really hard to get to. [It took] a lifetime’s worth of playing basketball, coaching basketball, having conversations, scouting, for me to go in there right away, assemble a championship team, win a championship.” My full conversation with Booth goes deeper into his time with the @nuggets, Jokic, his basketball philosophy, the upcoming draft, and many more subjects. Check it out on the latest episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show.
