Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone locks in during the first quarter at Target Center in Minneapolis on Thursday, May 16, 2024. No athlete is immune to making a stupid- play during a game. No coach is impervious to the occasional stupid- strategic decision. I’d be remiss not to acknowledge that part of my job is to ask them about those stupid- moments, the moments that make us human and that make sports, well, sports.
I have experience with these “season-just-ended” news conferences, and I know the questions tend to move on quickly from the micro to the macro — beyond the final game and onward to the big-picture stuff about the season. Those questions are valid, but it was important to me to make sure Malone was questioned about the game itself before the topics got existential. It was the biggest Game 7 comeback in NBA history, and Denver was on the wrong end of it. We can’t overlook that.
The reason I’m writing this is to share my perspective on the dynamic that exists in these postgame interviews. Typically, when an athlete or coach lashes out at a reporter in a high-exposure setting like this, the knee-jerk reaction on social media is to attack the reporter. I think there are two reasons for that trend. First, sports fandom is an emotional proposition, and it’s much easier to take sides with our heroes than some random writer.
