DENVER — When the Denver Nuggets summoned Fat Lever from his Phoenix-area home and asked if he’d want to attend their Tuesday night preseason matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Nuggets’ legend who played in Denver for six seasons from 1984-90 figured that it would be fun to watch a preseason game and maybe get a tour of the newly-upgraded facility. Instead, president Josh Kroenke shocked Lever and broke the news to him that his No. 12 will forever hang in the Pepsi Center’s rafters alongside Alex English, David Thompson, Byron Beck, Dan Issel, Dikembe Mutombo, and coach Doug Moe‘s 432 wins.
