However, I have to discuss some of my favorite sports stories of the weekend:
1. The complete and utter failure of the three Boston sports teams that played this past weekend. I know a man who moved to Boston and was so excited for the big sports weekend. HA!! The Bruins and Celtics lost game sevens and the Red Sox lost two of three at home to the Mariners. This weekend would have only been made better had Bill Bellichick flipped a five year old the bird!! I love it!!
2. Vince McMahon, of WWE fame has officially called out Stan Kronke, owner of the Nuggets, Avalanche, and Rapids for double booking Monday Night Raw and the NBA Western Conference Finals Game 4. Apparently, WWE demands respect. Unfortunately for Vince, they're not going to get any.
On to the Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets were once the Denver Rockets. They then became the Denver Nuggets. All of this happened during the time the Nuggets were in the ABA. (American Basketball Association) In 1976, The Nuggets along with three other teams, the Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, and New Jersey Nets, joined the NBA. In the mid-70's and mid 80's the Nuggets had very good teams, however they have never won an NBA Championship.
Fast forward to 2009. The Nuggets starting five consists of: Chancey Billups at Point Guard, Dahntay Jones at Shooting Guard, Carmelo Anthony at Small Forward, Kenyon Martin at Power Forward, and Nene at Center. The best bench player is J.R. Smith and two other big players off the bench are Anthony Carter and Chris Andersen.
Chancey was born in Denver and has turned the Nuggets around this year. Melo is the always underrated All-Star. Kenyon and Nene can destroy. J.R. hits threes and Chris Andersen is known as the "Birdman" due to his ability to fly through the air.
All this information should be enough to get you through your first Nuggets game ever bandwagon jumpers.
Also, tell your friends about me!!!
