This summer, Netflix unveils a gripping, emotional, and inspirational sports documentary that peels back the curtain on one of the most celebrated and respected figures in Denver Nuggets history—head coach Michael Malone. “Mile High Dynasty: The Untold Story of Coach Malone” is set to premiere globally on June 20, 2025, and promises to be a must-watch for sports fans, leadership enthusiasts, and anyone who believes in the power of perseverance, loyalty, and belief.
Told through never-before-seen footage, candid interviews, and behind-the-scenes access to locker rooms, practices, and family life, the documentary chronicles the rise of Michael Malone from a journeyman assistant coach to the architect of the Nuggets’ transformation into an NBA powerhouse. With stunning visuals, emotional storytelling, and appearances from players like Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, and NBA legends, “Mile High Dynasty” is not just a story about basketball—it’s a story about legacy.
Coach Malone is no ordinary coach. Under his guidance, the Denver Nuggets claimed their first-ever NBA championship in 2023, led by a team-first philosophy and built around the brilliance of Nikola Jokić. But beyond the banners and trophies, what this documentary truly reveals is the man behind the title—a fiery competitor, a dedicated mentor, and a leader who earned the unwavering loyalty of his players and staff.
Through powerful interviews with players, family members, and NBA insiders, we witness the full spectrum of Malone’s leadership style—from his intense sideline demeanor to his deep emotional bonds with his team. The documentary explores the heartbreaks too: early playoff exits, public doubt, and the pressure of building a championship culture in a small-market franchise.
But perhaps the most compelling thread of “Mile High Dynasty” is its focus on Malone’s unrelenting belief in building from within. “We never chased superstars—we built our own,” he says in one of the film’s most powerful moments. That philosophy helped turn Denver into a destination franchise, where loyalty, work ethic, and team chemistry are as valued as talent.
The documentary also dives into Malone’s deep roots in the game—being the son of longtime NBA coach Brendan Malone—and how his upbringing shaped his no-nonsense, blue-collar approach to coaching. Rare family footage and heartfelt reflections add an emotional depth rarely seen in sports documentaries.
Narrated by Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali and featuring a score by acclaimed composer Ludwig Göransson (Black Panther, The Mandalorian), “Mile High Dynasty” is an emotional rollercoaster that captures the spirit of a team, a city, and a man who refused to settle for anything less than greatness.
Whether you’re a lifelong Nuggets fan or simply love stories of grit and glory, “Mile High Dynasty: The Untold Story of Coach Malone” will leave you inspired and in awe. Set your reminders: June 20, 2025—only on Netflix.
