Last Tuesday, the entire Nuggets organization hosted hundreds of Special Olympics Colorado athletes on their home court. There were shooting stations led by Jamal Murray, Gary Harris and Monte Morris, passing clinics taught by Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic and rebounding drills led by Mason Plumlee.

Jokic helped one kid perfect his “Joker pass,” as the child called it. Working with another participant, Millsap nearly took an unsuspecting pass to the face.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone, decked out in a Grateful Dead-style Nuggets shirt, said he was thrilled to see some of the same athletes he’d seen in prior years. Numerous kids told Malone it was their favorite day of the year.

Seeing the looks on the faces of Will Barton and Juancho Hernangomez, it might have been mutual.

The annual event marked the team’s most public occasion during the holiday season. But there have been others, some much less publicized.

Barton, who attended Walter P. Carter elementary school in Baltimore, donated more than 400 Under Armour jackets to kids at his former middle school.

“It’s real cold around this time back home,” Barton said. “Some of those public school systems don’t even have heat. I wanted to give back to a school I went to when I was young.”

Earlier this month, Harris partnered with the Joshua School for a memorable movie event at a local theater. The Joshua School works specifically with kids who have autism.

“I think it was a great thing to do,” said Harris. “My brother has autism, I’ve been around many autistic people and just kids on the spectrum. It’s just something to give back and be able to show that you care and show that they’re important, and just draw awareness toward that.”

Other Nuggets, such as Plumlee, Millsap and Murray, took part in coordinated events in the community away from the spotlight. Related Articles Nuggets’ Jerami Grant expected to opt out of contract, source says, could command $16 million annually

But maybe the most generous gift came from Morris, who shared on social media that he gave his mom a new Porsche for Christmas.

Morris has the video of the surprise, but it seems he’ll keep that moment to himself.

“She was blindfolded, I walked her outside and she just started crying, so it was crazy,” Morris said. “She’s done so much for me, especially being an only parent with no help. It was only right I did that. Put a smile on her face.”
