Nuggets honor Black History Month: Bobby Simmons' impact
It’s an internet gif that is well-known among Nuggets fans. Nikola Joki\u0107 dancing his way toward the tunnel with a smiling gentleman walking alongside him.
The gentleman’s name is Bobby Simmons and he’s been the Nuggets’ Director of Security for more than 14 years, following a highly-decorated, almost three-decade career in law enforcement. Simmons vividly remembers the day he was offered the job.
“I’ll never forget the head trainer at that time, Jim Gillen, approached me and asked if I would be interested in working for the organization. It was like a dream come true,” Simmons said. “I jumped at it immediately. I’ve running it ever since.”
