The Nuggets shocked the basketball world on Tuesday when they announced they were firing Malone, who had led the team to its first NBA championship only two seasons ago, as well as general manager Calvin Booth. While the Nuggets had struggled to replicate their success since that title, Malone was widely considered one of the NBA's better coaches.
