He gave Denver its first NBA title.
They gave him a pink slip.

Ten Years, One Banner, No Job is the definitive account of Michael Malone's rise, reign, and sudden exit from the Denver Nuggets. Across a decade, he helped build a championship team around Nikola Jokic, developed a no-nonsense winning culture, and delivered the banner fans had waited their whole lives to see.

This book takes you inside:

The slow, patient rebuild of the post-Melo Nuggets

The front office dynamics that shaped the team

Jokic's emergence and the long-game vision behind it

The 2023 title run—and what came after

The quiet unraveling that ended in one of the most shocking firings in NBA history

It's a book about basketball, yes—but it's also about leadership, loyalty, and what happens when results no longer guarantee security. If you love deep sports storytelling, championship blueprints, or just want to understand why winning still isn't enough in today's NBA, this is your next must-read.
