Last Tuesday, the entire Nuggets organization hosted hundreds of Special Olympics Colorado athletes on their home court. There were shooting stations led by Jamal Murray, Gary Harris and Monte Morris, passing clinics taught by Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic and rebounding drills led by Mason Plumlee.
Jokic helped one kid perfect his “Joker pass,” as the child called it. Working with another participant, Millsap nearly took an unsuspecting pass to the face.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone, decked out in a Grateful Dead-style Nuggets shirt, said he was thrilled to see some of the same athletes he’d seen in prior years.
