Banner night will mean different things to different Nuggets, from Nikola Jokic’s joy watching 2023 playoff highlights to Michael Malone’s fierce turn-the-page mindset

SAN DIEGO — The range of emotions that will soon engulf Nuggets personnel on championship banner night is best filtered and summarized through three viewpoints.There’s Reggie Jackson, a child of Colorado Springs who’s still convinced he won’t be awake even as the 2022-23 Nuggets are being immortalized in the rafters of Ball Arena on Oct. 24. When new teammate and fellow NBA journeyman Justin Holiday became aware Jackson was a hometown kid — “that’s crazy,” he said — Jackson’s response was as simple as, “Yeah, I’m gonna wake up soon. Best dream ever, bro.”He keeps telling his brother the same thing. The 33-year-old first-time NBA champ definitively expects to cry.“There’s no way this can be real,” Jackson said. “I’m with a bunch of people that I made great bonds with over my career. Back home. In front of family. Yeah, I’m probably the happiest person on the team. Like I said, I never feel like this is real...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:37 GMT

Shortly after another strong performance in a Colorado Avalanche exhibition game Sunday night, Swedish forward Fredrik Olofsson borrowed from the words and wisdom of one of America’s finest fictional coaches, Ted Lasso.Olofsson, whom the Avs acquired for future considerations from the Dallas Stars in mid-June, is part of camp’s biggest battle — the one for the fourth-line center role. Given how he’s played and practiced, Olofsson likely would be Colorado’s No. 4 center if opening night was today.Does he think he’s done enough?“You have to kind of be able when you go home and close your eyes for the night to be happy with the effort you put in,” Olofsson said. “You can’t control if you score every single one or make every single stop.“You’ve just got to be a goldfish.
