“The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.”
-Harry Golden
Any sports fan that celebrates their team wants to see them win the ultimate prize, eventually. That’s why you bring a certain air of circumspection to a conversation about basketball as a Denver Nuggets fan. Year upon year of bad fortune, whether via inbounds, insanity, or infighting, has haunted you. Illness, idiocy, and infamy shared their places as well. For every bit of good fortune you’ve experienced, you’ve watched more bits of misfortune follow. You sit on the sideline to watch some other fanbase celebrate their good fortunes, and quietly curse the gods of NuggLife.
