“I’m a Denver boy, born and raised. The Nuggets were my first love,” said Lombardi. “I was a Nuggets ball boy when guys like Bill Hanzlik were playing. Now I get to sit next to him in studio. I can’t wait to work with Bill and all my new colleagues at Altitude. Thank you to The Kroenke family and KSE for allowing me this opportunity to be a part of a great organization.”

“We are thrilled to have Vic join our team,” said Ben Boylan, President of Altitude Sports. “His knowledge, reputation and passion for sports are outstanding. There is no doubt his contributions to our television coverage will help continue to bring our viewers the best coverage of the Nuggets from pregame to post game and on and off the court.”
