The Founding of the Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets was established as a franchise in 1967. They were then called the Denver Rockets, a charter franchise of the American Basketball Association. The Rockets joined the NBA in 1967 and came to be known by the name Denver Nuggets from 1974 onwards.
In 1967, one of the American basketball charter franchises was awarded to a group in Kansas City, Missouri led by Southern California businessman James Trindle. Lack of a suitable arena in Kansas City made Denver the next best choice as suggested by George Mikan, the League commissioner. In 1972, the team was again sold to San Diego businessmen Frank Goldberg and Bud Fischer.
The Name Change
The move to the NBA was anticipated in 1974. The franchise then needed a new name because the Houston Rockets already had claim to the name. A contest was held for a new name and Nuggets was the winner. It was an effort to honor the original team Nuggets that played from the city from 1938 to 1950. Their new logo was also quite catchy, a miner discovering an ABA ball.
Denver Nuggets Home Ground
The Nuggets have had two home arenas before settling down at the Pepsi Center. In their beginning years, from 1967 to 1975, they played at the Denver Auditorium arena. Then they shifted to McNichols Sports arena, where they played till 1999. They moved to Pepsi Center next year and have been playing their home games there ever since.
New Look for the New Millennium
The year 2003 was the beginning of many changes for the Denver Nuggets. The future all Star Carmelo Anthony became the latest addition to the team. The team also got a new look as they updated their logos, colors and uniforms.
It was the beginning of Anthony's reign. Many key players like Allen Iverson supported Anthony during the 2006-2008 season. This player combination gave the Nuggets the top two scorers in the League at that time. The team was on their way to stardom.
Season 2008 – 2011 was a year of some good trading. The Nuggets got many players like Chauncey Billups , Antonio McDyess , and Cheikh Samb . The Anthony- Billups duo set the floor on fire.
