(AP Photo\/David Zalubowski)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a surprise Malone is savoring his team&#8217;s breakthrough, and permanently commemorating with some prime real estate on his left arm. The man has been coaching since 1993 and worked his way from a high school assistant job all the way up to NBA head coach. He was fired by the Sacramento Kings (the Kings!) after two seasons in 2014 and landed with the Nuggets, where he <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nba-finals-in-praise-of-michael-malones-nuggets-culture-190207880.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:built one of the best cultures in the NBA;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp yahoo-link\">built one of the best cultures in the NBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since taking over in Denver, Malone has guided the Nuggets from the wilderness (not making the playoffs in his first three years) to knocking on the door (four years of trying and failing to advance past the Western Conference finals) to this. He&#8217;s had Nikola Joki\u0107 along for the entire ride, building up the former second-round big man into a two-time MVP and the reigning Finals MVP.<\/p>\n<p>So you can probably understand how this title is personal enough for Malone to get a tattoo, not that an NBA coach should need a reason to get some ink after winning a championship. In fact, it would be lovely if this began a new tradition among the league&#8217;s coaching elite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
