The Denver Nuggets are also one of the few teams in the NBA that have not won the NBA championship, the predecessor of the Denver Nuggets is called the Denver Rockets, they were originally the ABA team, and after joining the NBA, they changed their name to the Denver Nuggets, because Denver had discovered gold mines locally. They unveiled a brand new logo and jersey.
They finished 65-19 in 1974, their coach Larry Brown was named Rookie of the Year, and the team's rookie Bobby Jones was named to the recent Rookie Team and All-Defensive Team.
The following season, they continued to build on their team, finishing the regular season with a 60-24 record and reaching that year's ABA Finals, where they lost 4-2 to the New York Nets.
They joined the NBA in '76 and had a great first season, winning eight in a row and going 50-32 in the regular season, second only to the Lakers that year, but they lost in the playoffs to the Portland Trail Blazers.
In their second season in the NBA, they went on a 48-24 record and reached the division finals, but unfortunately lost to the Seattle SuperSonics.
After that, their results began to decline, and Larry Brown left the team to coach in the NCAA.
In the '80s, the Diggers welcomed Inglish and returned to the top, and they won the Western Conference championship for a time, but it was the Lakers' showtime era, and they were always suppressed by the Lakers and failed to stand out from the West.
In the '90s and early 20th century, the Tunnels failed to make the playoffs for most of the season, despite their good results. Chinese side Battle also played briefly for the Nuggets.
The resurgence of the Nuggets was the selection of Anthony in 2003, but Anthony also left a few years later, knowing that the arrival of Jokic later, the Nuggets became a strong team again.
Now the Nuggets are also a strong contender for the championship, having come back to reach the Western Conference Finals last season and lost to the Lakers.

The Denver Nuggets have never won a championship, and the Denver Nuggets have a very miserable upbringing, and it is a pity that the team has not won a championship since it was established.
-
They have won a total of 0 championships, and although they now have excellent center Jokic and point guard Murray, the championship is still far away.
-
The Denver Nuggets have never won a championship and their best result is just three division titles.
-
The Denver Nuggets have never won an NBA championship.
The best results in history are three divisional ABA champions, seven divisional NBA titles, two consecutive Central Division championships in 1977-79 -85 and three NBA Western Conference Finals in 2008-09.

The Denver Nuggets, last season's performance can be described as eye-catching, in the absence of strong reinforcements, relying on the stable play of Jokic on the inside and the strong outbreak of Jamal Murray on the outside, they miraculously eliminated the Jazz and the Clippers, and successfully reached the Western Conference Finals.
So next season, will they be on the stage of the West Closed Debate again? In my personal opinion, I am afraid that the chances are very slim.
Let's start with the internal factors:
The reason why the Nuggets successfully reached the Western Conference finals last season is that in addition to the stable, efficient, and strong play of Murray and Jokic, the more important thing is the explosion of role players, whether it is Grant or Porter Jr., who have helped the team to a certain extent.
And they don't have more reasonable reinforcements in the new season, and relying on this lineup alone will not have such a good result in the Wild West in the new season.
A very important reason is that the team's two cores, Jokic and Murray, when they encounter strong defense, their individual performance will be greatly reduced, which is also a hidden danger next season.
Another factor is that the management has established the idea of taking the inside No. 5 position as the core of the team, which is obviously unrealistic to reach the height of the ceiling in today's era. Strong players don't come, and even if the average player comes, it won't help the team immediately.
Due to the lack of sedan cars, internal factors determine that their ceiling for the new season is at most the level of the Western Conference semifinals.
Let's take a look at external factors:
The Warriors, who missed the playoffs last season, are poised to make a comeback with key players returning from injury and holding their picks. Basically, a semi-final seat was booked; The Lakers, as the defending champions, will reach the Western Conference finals at worst, and before that they also occupy a ticket to the semifinals; The remaining two, if nothing else, will be the Clippers and the Mavericks.
As for the Rockets, if it is still the same pattern as last season, there is no essential difference between the first and second rounds of the playoffs; The Jazz and Trail Blazers are basically first-round strengths; For the rest of the teams, similar to the Suns, the Pelicans also need to see how they play on the court.
So in the end, the final four of the Western Conference playoffs will be produced among the Lakers, Warriors, Clippers, Nuggets, and Mavericks.
Teams are bringing in reinforcements this offseason in order to go even further next season.
In such an environment where the overall strength is improving, the Nuggets will either fight to the death or make drastic overhauls, and either way, the new season will not end too well.
A team like the Nuggets can call for wind and rain during the regular season, in large part because the teams have not focused on this aspect, why is the Nuggets' best record in the playoffs being the semifinals? Last season's final was due to a variety of objective reasons.
Therefore, the Nuggets in the new season, the best record is still the same as usual, the Western Conference semifinals, neither low nor high.

The city where the Nuggets are located is Denver, which is usually called the Denver Nuggets, just like the Los Angeles Lakers; And the Nuggets players run faster than you, jump higher than you, and no one can keep up with their speed, and they're like a track and field team in the NBA, so it's called the Denver track and field team.

The team was born out of the Denver Rockets, who joined the ABA League in 1967. That same year, the San Diego Rockets (now the Houston Rockets) joined the NBA League.
Seven years later, Denver joined the NBA. But since there is already a Rocket team in the league. Therefore, the Denver team had to change its name.
So to commemorate the gold rush that broke out in the Colorado area in the 19th century, and because there were many gold diggers in Denver, the Denver rocket became the Denver gold nuggets. Of course, this is also in honor of the "old Denver Nuggets" who played in the NBA league for a year in the 1949 1950 season.
