About the Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets franchise traces its origins to 1967-68 in the American Basketball Association. A stable ABA franchise for nine years, Denver carried its winning ways into the NBA when the two leagues merged in 1976.
During their early NBA years the Nuggets boasted a deep and talented roster anchored by such superstars as David Thompson and Dan Issel. Although the franchise had its down periods, the team always retained its character as a freewheeling, high-scoring unit. After Alex English assumed the team's scoring mantle in the 1980s, the Nuggets played in the highest-scoring game in NBA history and established the all-time single-season record for scoring average. After another downturn the franchise again reloaded with young talent in the early 1990s, and in 1994 made history by becoming the first No. 8 seed ever to beat a No. 1 seed when they shocked the Seattle SuperSonics.
When the NBA was formed in 1949, the original Denver Nuggets (who bore no relationship to the later franchise, aside from the name) played in the Western Divison. Their rivals included such franchises as Sheboygan and Waterloo. Denver, led in scoring by Kenneth Sailors with 17.3 points per game, struggled to an 11-51 record and met its own waterloo during the offseason when the club folded after just one year
