Franchise History
One of 4 ABA teams that joined the NBA through a league merger in 1976, the Denver Nuggets were one of the basketball's most exciting franchises up until the end of the 1980's, but have had a resurgence in 2003.

They were known as the Rockets for their first 7 years of existence, and were very strong in their early years. However, they tended to struggle in the postseason and failed to make a championship game during this span. They had a solid core of players led by Byron Beck and Larry Jones, then later by Beck and Ralph Simpson. During the 1969-1970 season, the team also had a controversial rookie named Spencer Haywood. Haywood was one of the first players to turn pro before graduating college, and the NBA initially refused to let him play in the league. Haywood averaged 30 points in his only ABA season, and then was allowed to sign with the Seattle SuperSonics to start a productive NBA career.
