Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson held Thursday () and other some more amusing answers on everything, from “the baby faced killer Steph Curry” to Michael Jordan and the Bulls and why he doesn’t need to know the square root of 69.
He also admitted to missing former Nuggets GM Masai Ujiri.
Ujiri became the Nuggets’ general manager in 2010 and orchestrated the Carmelo Anthony deal in February of 2011. In 2013 he was named the NBA’s executive of the year, but he signed sign a five-year deal to be the Raptors’ general manager that May.
The Raptors hadn’t reached .500 in the previous five years when he took over. They returned to the playoffs last season and are now 15-4 (.789) to sit atop the Eastern Conference standings.
Tim Connelly took over for the Nuggets in June of 2013 and had to deal with every problem (and injury) imaginable for a GM in his first year. The Nuggets started out slow this season, but have since turned things around to get back to .500 (9-9).
