For the final award of the night…

Best Bench Celebrations: Malik Beasley

Runner Up: Nobody. Malik don’t need no back up dancers.

The best thing about tuning into watch the Denver Nuggets right now is seeing Nikola Jokic throw beautiful, unselfish passes to his teammates. A close second is Malik Beasley’s dance moves on the sidelines.

After every poster, and-1 opportunity, hustle play, transition basket and blocked shot, Malik Beasley is up off the bench showing his approval.

In all seriousness, the fact that Malik gets so excited about his teammates successes speaks volumes to the culture change that is occurring in Denver. It’s fun, loose, supportive and inclusive. Denver basketball is truly fun again.
