The Denver Nuggets began playing professional basketball as the Denver Rockets of the ABA. In the ABA the franchise mostly experienced strong seasons, reaching the finals in the last season before the merger between the ABA and NBA. The Nuggets had immediate success upon joining the NBA, making the playoffs their first three seasons in the Association and 12 times in their first 14 seasons. Through the 1990s Denver struggled mightily, making the playoffs just twice in the decade. The Nuggets didn’t return to the NBA spotlight again until Denver selected Syracuse small forward Carmelo Anthony with the third overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. Since Anthony’s arrival in Denver for the 2003-04 season the Nuggets have yet to miss the playoffs. Though always a part of postseason play, Denver has only made it past the first round of the playoffs once—reaching the Western Conference Finals in 2009. Despite Anthony leaving Denver for New York, the Nuggets still have continued their frequent postseason presence. Denver has retired the numbers of five players throughout the team’s long history.
