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.

Deandre Ayton on being rewarded with more touches from his teammates: “Most definitely. The ball finds energy. So yeah, they believe in me when I'm down there and sealing. They see me running hard to the rim or crashing and they reward me. [I] just add more and keep stacking as many possessions as I can with that just to have a certain rhythm throughout the game.”

LeBron James on his assessment of Lakers’ growth over the past three weeks: “I don’t know. I didn’t even know what today was when I woke up. You asked me about the last three weeks. I’m the wrong guy to ask, champ.”

LeBron James on his thoughts during the final possession of the game: “I thought we had a good opportunity. Lu (Luka Dončić) came off clean. I think he felt off balance, but we executed. We didn't get the shot that we wanted. We did execute it and it doesn’t go down.”
