About Calvin Booth

Calvin Lawrence Booth is a former NBA basketball player and team executive who most recently served as the general manager of the Denver Nuggets. He played 10 seasons for various NBA teams as a center after playing college basketball for the Penn State Nittany Lions.

In 2008, Booth, Rodney Carney and a 2010 first round draft pick were traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a conditional 2010 second round draft pick that ultimately never conveyed due to being top-55 protected. He won his first championship in 2023, when the Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat in five games. On January 13, 2004, as a member of the SuperSonics, Booth recorded a career-high 10 blocks in 17 minutes of playing time.
