An underrated Nugget is Michael Adams. He spent four years in Denver, peaking in '91 when he averaged 26.5pts/10.5ast per game. Denver traded him to the Washington Bullets that following Summer. Adams went on to have three more successful years in Washington, including an All-Star selection in '92.

Since then: Portland's best finish was being swept in the WCF. They lost to the #Nuggets who were starting Facundo Campazzo & Austin Rivers in the playoffs. Denver won a championship. Jokic won 3x MVPs. Nurkic has been traded twice, including last week as a complete salary dump.

Michael Malone got his first head coaching opportunity with the Sacramento Kings. He was fired early in his 2nd season after a 2-8 stretch that coincided with DeMarcus Cousins being out with viral meningitis. Legend has it that coach Malone has never worn purple again. #MileHighBasketball

The #Nuggets & #Mavericks have met in the playoffs twice. First in 1988 (Mavs won in six) & in '09 when Carmelo Anthony & Chauncey Billups led Denver to a 4-1 series win & the Conference Finals. The series turned in Denver's favor when Melo hit the Game 3 winner. #MileHighBasketball #MFFL

After an 11-71 season, the Denver #Nuggets had the best odds going into the 1998 draft lottery. They were leapfrogged by two teams, including the Los Angeles #Clippers who ended up with the top pick and selected Michael Olowokandi. Denver fell to third and selected Raef Lafrentz. #MileHighBasketball

The NBA didn't have to wait long to see the very first matchup between Melo and LeBron. The #Nuggets & #Cavaliers faced each other just five games into their young stars rookie seasons. It was Melo and the #Nuggets who emerged victorious with an all around team effort. LeBron scored just 7 points.

The #Nuggets & #Kings have never met in the playoffs, but did play a winner take all game 82 in 1995. Behind Reggie Williams 23 points & Dikembe Mutombo's 13pt/19reb/4blk performance they used a big fourth quarter to punch their ticket to the playoffs. #MileHighBasketball #LightTheBeam

In the 02-03 season the Nuggets won 17 games & tied the Cavaliers for the worst record in the league. On draft lottery night the Cavs landed the 1st overall pick while Denver, who has never moved up in the lottery, fell to 3rd. Cleveland selected LeBron James, while Denver selected Carmelo Anthony.

The Golden State #Warriors set a record in 2015-16 with only 9 regular season losses. One of them? January 13, 2016 at Denver. Danilo Gallinari led the #Nuggets with 28 points while Will Barton and Darrell Arthur combined for 39 off the bench. #MileHighBasketball
