For You Ruben
Since Ruben decided to be a smart-ass and comment that NC State “got lucky” and beat Carolina, I figured I would add this story that I stumbled onto.
Basically, the article covers why Colorado schools suck so bad at basketball.
Oh, and let me personally add that Denver is home to the Denver Nuggets…the Nuggets of 0 NBA titles and a 42-71 playoff record in 30 freakin years. Also, I don’t see a championship on the horizon with that magnificent combo of Iverson and overrated Carmelo Anthony. Lets be honest here: Anthony wasn’t even the best player in his draft class….or even second best. In fact, I’d take LeBron, D-Wade, and Chris Bosh over him now, and if I were building a TEAM, rather than trying to fill a building with fans, I’d take Josh Howard over him as well. The Nuggets hay day was in the early to mid 1980’s when teams played defense about as much as Jenna Jameson protected her virginity. Allen Iverson? Yeah, nice pickup. You obtained Iverson (who could never lead Philly to a title) by sacrificing a solid PG (Andre Miller), and your future (two #1 picks). This on a team that is built around Anthony and a bunch of guys that get injured every 10-12 days. Smart. You’ll get 25 ppg out of AI, he’ll get knocked around like a pin ball all year, and you’ll still get the same thing you get every year….if your lucky An early exit from the playoffs.
Finally, lets not forget that the best player to ever wear a Denver Nuggets uniform was the one and only David Thompson from where……that’s right….NCSU!
Enjoy Ruben.
It Must Have Something To Do With The Altitude (And Here Come The Pretzels!)
