 PROFILE
The mother lode of the NBA has eluded the Denver Nuggets for more than two decades. The franchise was founded in 1967 as the Denver Rockets and was backed by trucking magnate J. W. "Bill" Ringsby. A charter member of the American Basketball Association, the team (renamed the Nuggets in 1974) joined the NBA in 1976. While the Nuggets prospered early in the NBA and later set the all-time record for single-season scoring average in 1981-82 (led by Alex English), the franchise has toiled in defeat for much of its history. In 2000 cable programming firm Liberty Media sold the Nuggets (as well as the NHL's Colorado Avalanche and the Pepsi Center arena) to Wal-Mart heir Stan Kroenke.
