When the Nuggets shockingly fired the most successful coach in franchise history back in April, most didn’t think Michael Malone would be out of a job for long. It was assumed that he’d be a leading candidate to land any vacant job his heart desired in the offseason, but that job won’t be in coaching, as Malone has accepted a job on ESPN’s NBA Countdown.
Malone was part of the crew during the playoffs and NBA Finals on a part-time basis, and he was rumored to be a candidate for the Knicks’ opening once they parted with Thom Thibodeaux.
