• Melo on Young Hollywood, Chris Bosh on getting crushed by the Nuggets

  These are good times for the Denver Nuggets. The squad is playing team basketball, and the results have been breathtaking at times: Witness last night's 132-93 dismantling of the Toronto Raptors. No wonder Carmelo Anthony is so gleeful in an interview with YoungHollywood.com held at the November 20 launch party for his newest shoe, the Jordan Melo M5. In the clip, Anthony still seems a little conflicted about the departure of Allen Iverson, but he rightly praises Denver's own Chauncey Billups,

• The 10 most memorable Denver sports moments of 2008

  Ten Denver sports moments we'll remember (sometimes against our wishes) from 2008.10. The Birdman flies back into DenverReserve center and reformed party addict Chris "The Birdman" Anderson re-joined the Nuggets this year after a two-year suspension for an unspecified violation (cocaine). He's not the second coming of Shaq -- he's not even the second coming of himself -- but he dunks and blocks a bunch of shots, and sometimes he acts like a bird when he does it, so he makes the list.

• Could Denver Nuggets be number two in a good way?

  A Flickr photoChauncey Billups takes on Dallas earlier this season. Admit it: When you heard the Nuggets were getting rid of defensive stalwart Marcus Camby prior to the start of the season in exchange for virtually nothing, and when the team swapped Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups a few games into the 2008-2009 campaign, you figured Denver's ballers were in for a shitty year. Well, we were almost right. On the last day of the season, the Nugs have a real shot at being number two -- but not

• Next stop Kobeville for the Nuggets

  A Flickr photoKobe Bryant and Kenyon Martin -- or a reasonable facsimile. As a lifelong Nuggets fan, I've grown accustomed over the years to waiting for the team to blow leads. But I don't think I've ever been so zen about the Nugs as last night, during their series-clinching victory over the Dallas Mavericks. My confidence was so high going in that I posted a blog declaring their victory about twelve hours before tip-off -- and even during that second-half Mavs run, when Jason Kidd started dra

• Nugget fans should wear allegiance on their sleeves

  The Nuggets lost by two points last night in a very close game. Why? Well, a big part of it was unusually poor free-throw shooting from Chauncey Billups and company. My suggestion, then, is that the rest of the team start wearing Carmelo Anthony's super-phresh shooting sleeve. You know, that sky-blue, nylon-looking thing that he, and Allen Iverson before him, wear around their arms. In fact, I think all the fans should start wearing them too. There are rally caps and rally monkeys. Why not a

• Barron Christian and the continuing disaster of Imagine That

  Turns out Denver has a much smaller role in Imagine That than we originally thought. As you may recall, three weeks worth of filming for the Eddie Murphy flick took place right here in our Mile High home. And although you can still see a helicopter shot of the city and catch a glimpse of Melo talking to Allen Iverson, many of Denver's scenes were cut entirely, including the sequence in the Brown Palace Hotel's Palace Arms restaurant starring our friend Barron Christian. According to the Co

• Can Arron Afflalo become the next Dahntay Jones?

  Arron Afflalo. The Nuggets' loss of Dahntay Jones to a free-agent deal with the Indiana Pacers hurt, and not just because Kobe Bryant grew to despise him over the course of the Western Conference Finals this year. His toughness and aggressiveness were just what the Nugs need to become a perennial playoff power. Fortunately, though, the team's braintrust understands that, and made a wise deal to fill his role by obtaining Arron Afflalo from Detroit in a trade that also involved forward Walter Sh

• Allen Iverson's advice to America's youth: "Don't try to be like Allen Iverson"

  With prodigy J.R. Smith suspended for the first seven games of the 2009-2010 season thanks to his guilty plea in a New Jersey crash that killed one of his friends (and for which Smith served jail time), the Nuggets could use some help at guard. And a prominent one's available: Allen Iverson. Not that a return would be in anyone's best interest: The Iverson experiment didn't work out in Denver, unlike the AI-for-Chauncy Billups trade, which succeeded beyond anyone's reasonable expectations. But

• God told Allen Iverson to sign with... Memphis?

  A.I. during his Denver days.​A blog last week headlined "Allen Iverson's Advice to America's Youth: 'Don't Try to be Like Allen Iverson'" featured an interview in which the former Nugget told ex-teammate Eric Snow that his desire for a championship outweighed considerations such as whether he'd start or come off the bench. Well, never mind. Iverson's reportedly signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, a team that's got about as much chance of taking the NBA title th

• Allen Iverson was a perfect gentleman in Denver -- so what's your problem, Philadelphia, Detroit and Memphis?

  Allen Iverson stands as proof that Denver brings out the best in people. When he was in Philadelphia, he was clearly a brilliant talent, but he could also be cranky and petulant, as demonstrated in this classic news-conference meltdown about missing a practice. Denver fans were braced for more of the same upon his arrival. However, all he did during his time with the Nuggets was play hard, share the ball more than expected (if not quite enough), say all the right things, and otherwise disprove
