While many could possibly guys like Dikembe Mutombo, Alex English or even Carmelo Anthony for being the face of the Nuggets and their history, many NBA fans still don’t remember these players were key parts of Denver’s history.
The Spurs have Tim Duncan, the Bulls have Michael Jordan, the Heat have Dwyane Wade and the Mavericks have Dirk Nowitzki. However, no one really associates a face of the franchise when it comes to the Nuggets. Nikola Jokic looks like he could be on this type of trajectory, but he has to spend his entire career with Denver.
Guys like Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan spent most or their entire tenure with one team.
