Episode Date: December 8, 2025

When you talk about a certain owner's stewardship of a certain NBA team and how he mistreated his star player. From our episode KroenkeOut Denver Edition with Terrence Hayes

So with Carmell Anthony, he asked us on a podcast now. They just recently interviewed him. They talked about George Carl. Now, George Carl was hired by the Kronky family to coach that Denver Nuggets team. Yes, he was. And he basically made Carmela Anthony look like the escape though, so he wasn't great. He threw players underneath the bus. George Carl had problems with players like Kenyon Martin.

He had problems with Chauncey Billups. and his big problem was with Carmel Lanton did which was your franchise. Now, they couldn't get over the hump and one of the things that made me mad about the Cronkey family. You trade Chauncey Billups

to Detroit. No, you trade Chanty Billups from Detroit, bring them from Detroit for the Alan Iverson deal. Which Iverson was on his way out. It was sad how he his career ended.

But you didn't build around Carmelo Anthony. The same way... Carmelo's like the Bradford of basketball. Right. It's like the same way Miami did with Dwayne Wade. You know, Dwayne Wade won his first championship in his third year. With Shaq.

With Shaq. And Shaq was on his way out. They didn't basically... How probably I put this? They didn't put Carmelo on it because Carmelo should have won the rookie of the year in 2003. but they gave that to LeBron. They didn't do what they did for Mello.

And Mello forced his way to back home to New York, which basically, with that trade, it was so lopsided with that trade, that with that trade, it basically hurt the Nuggets. It hurt the Nuggets until they were able to go into the second round and go get a Nicola Yolkich. They were able to get a Jamal Murray and build that team.

So when it came down to it, over those dark years after Carmel and, The Kronky family failed. They failed the fans of Denver. Now when it comes to the Rapids, I don't really follow soccer unless it's the World Cup and it's the USA. Listen to this and much more on this podcast is Uncalled for.
