I remember being a fan of the Nuggets in the 90s and this still being my favorite moment. The #8 seed upsetting the 1 seed. Post your favorite Nuggets moment here!! Obviously the title run is at the top for most fans, including myself, but would be curious what else pops up from the olden days

That was a great moment! I’ve been a fan that long but I’ll have to say the other memories are all recent: 1) sweeping the Lakers in the WCF last year (including the Jokic 3 pointer over AD, and the casual shrug), 2) winning the finals last year, seeing Jokic with the trophy and FMVP, 3) seeing Malone and the team brass show up at Jokic’s stable with the MVP award; and 4) Murray flurry games in the bubble, culminating in the comeback against the Clippers.
The post Mutumbo era was pretty bad. The Melo era had its moments but getting eliminated in the WCF to the Lakers kind of diminishes any sense of accomplishment.
This is my first Nuggets memory and why I became a fan. I think the first round was only five game back then. I watched a lot of bad Nuggets basketball in the 90’s because of that Mutombo block.
Murray’s game 6 vs the Utah Jazz
But the 76ers vs Nuggets game in 2022 when Bones goes on a heater to beat Embiid and Harden.
If the Morris incident didn’t happen I loved the Heat game too

Definitely remember that series, I enjoyed those playoff games for sure!
Am I crazy or was sweeping the Lakers the most satisfying part, and the title was the cherry on top?
Kinda like the Miracle on Ice vibes without the huge underdog part.
Definitely one of my favorite Nuggets/sports memories.
