Brian Shaw, Denver Nuggets
A three-time champion with the Lakers as a player and a two time champion with the Lakers as an assistant coach, Shaw has been preached about the Phil Jackson’s triangle offense during his playing years and has been preaching it to others ever since.

On Phil Jackson’s retirement, he was considered by the Lakers front office for the post but lost the position to Mike Brown. Shaw, then, reached an agreement with the Pacers to be an assistant coach under Frank Vogel. The respect for him as an assistant coach is shared by head coaches across the league.

He would be keen and looking forward to making his mark in the league as a head coach this season with Denver Nuggets, replacing Coach of the Year George Karl. He was appointed head coach of the Nuggets on June 25th, 2013 and with the respect he carries around as a coach, he would most certainly be carrying a load of expectations from Nuggets’ fans.
