Facts for me somewhat. I always saw basketball/espn because of my dad (from like 99-2005) and really started watching it in 2006. Then I really started following heavy with Trades, Seedings, Rosters and such in 2009 or whenever it was LeBrons final year in Cleveland.

I agree. I forgot about all those cast of characters and if social media was as big as it is today then, that team would’ve had a lot more pub . I enjoyed watching that team at that time . They could score with the best of them especially when they had Melo and A.I. , but they couldn’t stop anyone . Their best chance probably was 2009 when they got Chancey Billups , but they ran into Kobe and that was it for that . I am glad JJ Reddick brought that team up because that is a forgotten team in history. Love his podcast. Great interview .

2009 was his best year to me, and he was 2 wins away from the finals. Then he comes back the next year not with unfinished business on his mind, but to force the Nuggets hand for a trade....and goes to a bottom feeding team that didn't even qualify for the playoffs. He lost me as a fan after that move.

Shoutout Melo. Still easily one of my favorite players ever. Became a fan of the game the night we drafted him. And even Melo himself said people really don’t know Denver Melo. Dude straight was a monster on offense. You can count on the guy to make the game winning shot. He was just amazing to watch. Wish he played a little harder on defense but that 09 team was amazing. God damn lakers still haunting us till this day!
