Nuggets Honor Black History Month: Recognizing Kyle Speller’s impact

When you attend a Denver Nuggets game at Pepsi Center, you will feel the energy reverberate off the walls over the course of the evening. From the energetic player introductions that get fans out of their seats before tip-off, to the chant of “one… two… THREE” following each 3-pointer, fans are enthused and uplifted by the voice of Kyle Speller, the Nuggets’ Public Address (PA) Announcer.

Speller was hired as the team’s PA announcer back in 2004 and has grown to become a staple of the gameday experience at Pepsi Center. Not only did Speller make history as the first African-American PA Announcer in Nuggets’ history, he was the first in the State of Colorado for any of the state’s major professional sports teams.
