一些有趣的事实：

马龙在上任成为掘金主帅时，被认为是一名以防守见长的教练...

....【All of the local and national talk once he was announced was about his reputation as a defensive coach in comparison to the ever-offensively-minded team he was taking over】. He says it far better in his few minutes at the mic, and later in a question, but both times, his defensive aspirations catch a chuckle or two, even as Malone made clear exactly who he was from the start…
在他被任命的消息公布后，当地和全国的讨论都集中在他作为防守型教练的声誉，以及他接手的这支始终以进攻为主导的球队之间的对比。他在几分钟的发言中，以及随后回答问题时，对此的表述更为精辟，但这两次，他的防守抱负都引来了一两声轻笑，尽管马龙从一开始就明确表明了自己的立场……

2015年，掘金队聘请马龙作为主教练时，国王的媒体如是说：

But as Carmichael Dave eluded, there was a feeling in SacTown that things were headed in the right direction. Malone was defensive-minded – 【he is widely credited for the installation of the Warriors defense】 that will be on display in tonight’s NBA Finals Game 6 – with the ability to handle the Xs and Os on offense. He was tough – “a New Yorker” – 【old school, straight-shooting.】 Carmichael Dave said, “He’s a basketball freaking Mozart.” Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins simply called Malone, “Real.”

但正如卡迈克尔·戴夫所暗示的，萨克拉门托城有一种感觉，事情正在朝着正确的方向发展。【马龙以防守为导向——他因打造勇士队的防守体系而广受赞誉，这套防守体系将在今晚的NBA总决赛第六场比赛中展现】——同时他具备在进攻端处理战术的能力。他为人强硬——“一个纽约人”——【传统派，直言不讳】。卡迈克尔·戴夫说：“他是篮球界的莫扎特。”国王队全明星中锋德马库斯·考辛斯则简单地称马龙为“真实的人。”

2017年10月，掘金连续被挡在季后赛门外的最后一个赛季开始前，马龙接受采访时表示：

.....Nuggets coach Michael Malone: “Last year, it burned that we were as bad as we were defensively”......“The only way we’re going to be a successful team is if we defend and find ways to be a lot better than 29th in defensive efficiency,” Michael Malone said....
掘金队主教练迈克尔·马龙表示：“去年，我们在防守端表现得如此糟糕，这让我们感到非常痛心。”“我们想要成为一支成功的球队，唯一的方法就是加强防守，并设法让防守效率排名大幅提升，不再是联盟第29位，”迈克尔·马龙说道。

......"Last year, it burned that we were as bad as we were defensively," Malone said. "And we gave up everything: the paint, the 3-point line. Hopefully, by us simplifying things and being more aggressive, it will help us.
“去年，防守糟糕到让我们感到痛苦，”马龙说，“我们什么都丢了：禁区、三分线。希望通过简化战术并更具侵略性，能帮助我们。”
