Nuggets coach Michael Malone spent plenty of time talking about the Lakers following his team’s impressive sweep of Los Angeles in the Western Conference finals. And it appears Lakers coach Darvin Ham has spent his fair share of time listening to both his rival coach and his team.

“Oh, wow. You’re gonna bring up Money Mike, man? The Lakers’ daddy? That’s what they call him now? The Lakers’ daddy?” Ham said.
