Meet the Nuggets' Secret Weapon (Who Never Touches the Ball)

The Nuggets are having a history-making season, and — knock on wood! — Denver could be on its way to our first NBA Championship in franchise history. But sports teams are so much more than the athletes. Coaches, scouts, analysts, trainers, and many many more work together to get those wins — like today’s guest, Kyle Speller. He’s a PA announcer now in his 18th season with the Nuggets, and his voice, energy, and excitement are crucial to getting 20,000 fans on their feet and cheering at Ball Arena every game. Host Bree Davies talks with Kyle about how he came up with his now-infamous “To the window/to the wall!” call-and-response, the call Nikola Jokić asked him to stop, and other secrets for driving Nuggets fans wild.

(And if you’re curious, Bree also asked Kyle about his homage to Guy’s “Teddy’s Jam.”)

Bree mentioned the settlement in the Coffee at the Point dispute and Colorado’s new gun laws.
