Denver Nuggets head coach, Brian Shaw, wants his point guard, Ty Lawson, to become more of a leader this season. How is Lawson going to do this? Well by learning from a great leader in Denver, Denver Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning.
From Eye on Basketball:
"“One thing I wanted to do with him,” Shaw said, “and still may do before we get too heavy into is I want to take him to a Broncos practice so he can see Peyton Manning and how he directs traffic, and how everybody falls in line behind him. But they only do that because they know the work ethic that he has and the time he puts in, and they respect that.”“I’ve met Peyton before,” Lawson said, “But I definitely just want to see how he runs his team. To see whether he’s yelling and screaming the whole time, or if he’s just talking. What his tone is when he’s talking to players. I want to see what his mindset is during practice.”"
Since the Nuggets are not “too heavy” into the season yet, look who showed up at Broncos practice today:

Will this actually work? If Lawson starts shouting “Omaha” during games, then we can safely say that Manning has rubbed off on him.
