Denver Nuggets fans are reeling after beloved voice Chris Marlowe was let go by Altitude TV, a move that has left many stunned. Marlowe, a nationally respected broadcaster and Olympic gold medalist in volleyball, had been calling Denver's NBA games since 2004. He was joined by play-by-play announcer Scott Hastings, who had been calling games since 1993. Studio analyst Chris Dempsey, a Boulder native and former Denver Post reporter, was also let go. The move is a stunner for a fan base that has grown up knowing only two voices on Nuggets games - voices that carried them through the legendary Carmelo Anthony era and into Jokic's reign, when the franchise finally climbed the mountain and won it all. "All good things must come to an end," Marlowe wrote Wednesday. "Altitude Sports is moving in a different direction and decided not to renew my contract. It has been a wonderful 22-year run. ... I'm not retiring and this is not goodbye - it's just so long for now." The move is a contrast to the offseason, where Kroenke has already decided to keep David Adelman, a cheap, first-year option at head coach who replaced the franchise's best in Michael Malone. Adelman got booed before a home playoff game just before the team bowed out to an undermanned Minnesota crew. Meanwhile, rumors run amok that the front office is considering moving the greatest point guard in franchise history, on the heels of a career year. What message would that send? Worse yet is the rumored idea of trading a guy nicknamed Mr. Nugget, Aaron Gordon, whose contract extension hasn't even kicked in yet, after years of consistent, selfless sacrifice that apexed with him gutting through a Game 7 badly injured.
