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.

The venue replaced the venerable McNichols Sports Arena, which the Nuggets called home for more than two decades.

I had such a good time at the game! Yes, the Lakers ended up winning it all but you know what? The Nuggets sure did play well! Can't wait for next season!
Kroenke puts on a good show. I would ask for better half-time entertainment. Outside of some bizarre half-time shows, the product that the Nuggets submit is incredible.
We went as a group and had one of the best times at a Nuggets game that we had had all year. The whole town was into the game. The clubs were great and the Pepsi Center was amazing!! We hope that we can get that far into the playoffs again next year so we can repeat the experience! GO Nuggets!
TM made it easy to grab some great seats - and the game was the absolute Best! Talk about LA getting their tookus kicked! The Nuggets were on Fire as they shut down the Lakers five starters as well as their bench. The fans were cheering their team on and many of us left without our voices. The rain after the game didn't dampen our spirits, it just cooled us all down!
Being at a Nuggets game in person is unforgettable! The excitement is in the Can! Play-off basketball was fast, exciting and kept us on the edge of our seats!
Excellent game. Two western conference foes battling. Too bad NBA refs suck- just make the calls that are there- NO MAKEUP CALLS, no calls for superstars, just the calls. Excellent venue in the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets did go cheap on the giveaways: towels to wave- come on.
Great seats, great workers, enviroment was electrifiying, the pre game entertainment was great for the kids. Employees were very helpful with me as a handicapped. I will be going again very soon!!!
I got third row seats behind the lakers bench. I could clearly see the game better than on T.V. I would recommend this to any basketball fan at least once. It also helped that the lakers pulled off a fourth qrtr. win!
It sucks they lost but nuggets playoff basketball is the best
We had great seats and we won that playoff game so even better!!!
Fun atmosphere at Pepsi Center. Too bad Nuggets couldn't pull off the series.
Best sports event I have ever attended. Unbelievable.
The game, the excitement, the experience. Just being in the Pepsi Center for the playoff atmosphere was amazing. The team was hot and got the crowd all into the game!
Nuggets winning Game 5 over Dallas was incredible!!
Watching Denver beat Dallas to move on to the Western Division finals. Fans ROCKED the Pepsi Center - it was so much fun!!!
I went to this game with my 16 year old daughter. We had a terrific time at this event. The half time entertainment was awsome, as was the nuggets mascot "Rocky"(as he always is),. We think he is the best mascot in the NBA. To top it all off, the Nuggets won the game to advance in the playoffs.
It was a great event. The Pepsi center was rocking and we ll a=had a great time.
Great playoff game; great ticket; great atmosphere and game day experience!!!
