Former Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland was a fan favorite before being traded to the LA Clippers. While things got complicated once Hyland fell out of the rotation, leading to a messy breakup and his trade to LA, the young guard still has a lot of love for the city of Denver and the Nuggets fanbase.

Appearing on a recent episode of Curious Mike, Michael Porter Jr.'s podcast, Hyland revealed his honest feelings on Denver and their fanbase.

"Speaking of Denver fans, when I was over there, I would check in [to the game] and they went rowdy every time," Hyland said. "They loved watching me play. Obviously the trade went down, and now everybody just like hates me. But, you know, I feel like they don't really hate me. They still got love for me. It's just - I'm just not there anymore... But I still got love for Denver, bro. They took me in with open arms. I would never say, 'F Denver.' That won't ever come out of my mouth. They took me in with open arms."

While things got complicated between Hyland and the Nuggets, leading to his departure, there is still a lot of love for Denver on his end. Speaking on that with Porter, Hyland opened up about his true feelings towards the Nuggets, the city, and their fans.
