In over 50 years of existence as a professional basketball franchise, the Denver Nuggets have had some good, but not great on-court success. While they have won their division an impressive 10 times, the Nuggets have never played for an NBA or an ABA Championship. Yes, the Nuggets were one of four franchises that had the distinct pleasure of joining the NBA in the ABA/NBA merger in 1976 along with the Indiana Pacers, the New Jersey Nets and the San Antonio Spurs.
For those that are very knowledgable of the back story of the Nuggets as a franchise, they were initially known as the Denver Larks in 1967.
