It is time for fans to stop forgetting about Dan Issel. Issel is about as throwback as one can get. He played in the era when the ABA still existed.
When one thinks of the all the great Nuggets, they are quick to mention guys like Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Allen Iverson, Dikembe Mutumbo, Alex English, Fat Lever, David Thompson, and even Kiki Vandeweghe.
Often times, Issel is forgotten in that list though and it is time that comes to an end. He was a vital part of the Nuggets franchise and in some ways, the first key star that ever donned a Nuggets jersey.
