Denver Nuggets History
One of the founding teams of the American Basketball Association in 1967, the Denver Nuggets franchise was originally known as the Denver Rockets. They preemptively changed their name to the Nuggets before the 1974–75 season, anticipating a move to the NBA (where Houston’s team already had the name). In their nine ABA seasons, the Nuggets made the playoffs seven times — losing in the finals to the New York Nets in the league's final year.
They were one of four ABA teams annexed to the NBA in 1976 and immediately were one of the most successful teams, winning the Midwest Division two straight years behind future Hall of Famers David Thompson and Dan Issel. In 1980, the arrival of another future Hall of Famer, high-scoring forward Alex English, began a run of nine consecutive seasons in the playoffs. Coach Doug Moe's offensive-minded squads made it past the first round of the playoffs four times, falling three times in the conference semifinals and once in the conference finals, in 1985 to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The team had only one winning season in the 1990s, but it was a memorable one. After finishing 42-40 to sneak into the playoffs as the eighth seed in the 1993–94 season, they upset the top-seed Seattle Supersonics in the first round of the playoffs, thanks in no small part to center Dikembe Mutombo's heroics.
Led by 2003 first-round draft pick Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets reversed their fortunes to post 10 straight winning seasons beginning with the 2003–04 season. The Nuggets won their first NBA championship in 2023, led by two-time league MVP and Finals MVP Nikola Jokić.

Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena
The Nuggets play their home games at Ball Arena, which is a short walk from historic Larimer Square in bustling downtown Denver. The venue, with its sculpture-laden Grand Atrium, opened in 1999 as part of the city's six-year boom in sporting venues, which included new football and baseball facilities.
The venue replaced the venerable McNichols Sports Arena, which the Nuggets called home for more than two decades.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Nuggets Game Was Great
by Wyomike on 7/13/09Pepsi Center - DenverJust wanted to express how happy I was that my family went to this event. It was my 12 year old son first pro game and the place was electric. Great service and felt it was a great deal. Our seats were at the very top and still could watch all the action on the floor and big screens. The Pepsi Center is a great venue that has enough bathrooms to handle a beer swilling, rowdy and loud crowd. Getting tickets online was a bit confusing but we got them without taking too much time.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Nuggs Do Dallas
by sporto on 7/13/09Pepsi Center - DenverNuggs were clearly the better team. Give credit to Nowitzki for helping his team overachieve, but Dallas was 6-7 deep and the Nuggets were 8-9 deep and dominated this series. Awesome game and awesome time.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Clinching the series vs Dallas at home was awesome
by Smoothy on 7/13/09Pepsi Center - DenverThe seats we had were ok but very tight as in not much leg room at all. The playoff atmosphere was great and it was a good crowd. Watching the Nuggets defeat Dallas in the series and advancing was awesome. Can't wait to see how they do next year. GO NUGGETS!!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Nuggets did good
by GlennofWesty on 7/13/09Pepsi Center - DenverIt was a well-promoted game and , of course, historic with the Nuggets advancing this far in the playoffs. Lots of activities between the actual play. The only complaint that I have is that the servers in the club level seats don't seem to cover their areas very well. Maybe an extra server or two during the playoffs would be nice. Once the order is placed the food and drinks come out very fast.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Playoff atmosphere at the Can
by blove720 on 7/13/09Pepsi Center - DenverThe crowd - amazing. That is the only word that accurately describes how loud and entertaining the playoffs are when the Nuggets play. The game was darn good as well, but the best was 19K swinging white towels on the national spotlight.

Rating: 1 out of 5 What a horrific Nuggets effort
by denverguy80202 on 7/13/09Pepsi Center - DenverWould have been nice if the Nuggets had actually shown up for the game and stopped acting like they were resting on their laurels. Horrific blowout cloeout to Lakers, who were clearly better. Men vs boys.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Denver's no longer a one-sport town
by jaycie on 7/13/09Pepsi Center - DenverWhat an exciting time to be a fan of Denver Nuggets Basketball. The electric enthusiasm was contagious as people who never even thought about the team wanted tickets. The team gave their all and some true heros were forged out of the competition. Denver is no longer a one-sport town.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Denver Nuggets were roaring......
by cdogg80204 on 7/12/09Pepsi Center - DenverDenver Nuggets showed a dominating performance in what seemed like would be an exciting series against the Los Angeles Lakers. The event started with a great star spangled banner version by the lead singer and Denver native of the band The Fray. There was also a small skit from the creators of South Park doing a Rocky the mascot and Jack Nickolson duel. During the start of the tip off to the last seconds of the game was there vigorous competition and passionate players seeking that title. Being that the Denver Nuggets had not been to the Western Conference Finals in over 20 years, the crowd and city of Denver was ready for this long awating appearnace and wasn't disappointed with the effort just the results. The venue was awesome, the crowd was extatic and the game was eletricfying. A+++

And in the end it was a great experience and amazing game. The home crowd was amazing and the atmosphere was electifying.
