DENVER — For all of the players and coaches who’ve been with the Denver Nuggets, maybe the most colorful figure in franchise history is Doug Moe.
Moe was the Nuggets' head coach from 1980 to 1990. The man who won more games than anyone in team history was known for his humor, his offense...and, his colorful language.
Now 84 and retired in San Antonio, Texas, Moe took some time to catch up with his old radio partner Tom Green to talk about his life and the Nuggets as they head into the NBA Finals.
Luckily it wasn’t just Moe. His beloved wife “Big Jane” dropped in, as well.
