The 2004–05 NBA season was the 29th season for the Denver Nuggets in the National Basketball Association, and their 38th season as a franchise.
 During the offseason, the Nuggets acquired Kenyon Martin from the New Jersey Nets.
 Coming off their first playoff appearance in nine years, the Nuggets got off to a shaky start at 13–15.
 Head coach Jeff Bzdelik was fired and replaced with Michael Cooper as the team lost 10 of their next 14 games.
 Cooper was then replaced with George Karl, who then led the Nuggets with a 32–8 record for the remainder of the season, including a ten-game winning streak in April.
 The Nuggets finished second in the Northwest Division with a 49–33 record.
 Second-year star Carmelo Anthony led them in scoring with 20.8 points per game.
The 1989–90 NBA season was the Nuggets' 14th season in the National Basketball Association, and 23rd season as a franchise.
 The Nuggets got off to a fast start winning 11 of their first 15 games, on their way to a solid 19–9 start.
 However, they began to show their age as they barely made the playoffs with a mediocre record of 43–39, fourth in the Midwest Division.
 At midseason, the team acquired Joe Barry Carroll from the New Jersey Nets, while Fat Lever was selected for the 1990 NBA All-Star Game.
 In the first round of the playoffs, the Nuggets were swept by the San Antonio Spurs in three straight games.
 Following the season, an era would come to an end in Denver as head coach Doug Moe was fired, Alex English signed as a free agent with the Dallas Mavericks, while Lever was traded to the Mavericks and Barry Carroll was released.
The 1976 ABA All Star Game was the 9th and final American Basketball Association All-Star Game, played at McNichols Arena in Denver, Colorado on January 27, 1976.
 This time, the league abandoned the usual East vs. West format it used from the 1967-68 season onward and instead had the league's first place team at the All Star break face off against a team of ABA All Stars.
 At the All Star break the Denver Nuggets were in first place, which was convenient as the Nuggets had also been selected to host the game in McNichols Arena.
 Kevin Loughery of the New York Nets coached the All-Stars while Larry Brown led the Denver Nuggets.
 This was the second year in a row that Loughery and Brown coached against each other in the ABA All-Star Game.
 (The Nuggets went on to finish the regular season in first place at 60-24 (.714), but after beating the Kentucky Colonels 4 games to 3 in the ABA Semifinals the Nuggets lost in the 1976 ABA Finals to the New York Nets, 4 games to 2.)
The 1990–91 NBA season was the Nets' 24th season in the National Basketball Association, and 15th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
 After finishing with the worst record last season, the Nets won the draft lottery and selected Derrick Coleman out of Syracuse with the first pick in the 1990 NBA draft.
 In the offseason, the team acquired Reggie Theus from the Orlando Magic.
 However, the Nets continued to struggle losing eleven consecutive games between December and January.
 Their movement would continue at midseason as they acquired Dražen Petrović from the Portland Trail Blazers, and rookie Terry Mills from the Denver Nuggets.
 The Nets finished fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 26–56 record.
 Coleman had a stellar rookie season averaging 18.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, as he was named Rookie of The Year.
 Following the season, Theus retired.

The 1977 NBA draft was the 31st annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 The draft was held on June 10, 1977, before the 1977–78 season.
 In this draft, 22 NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players.
 The first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each conference, with the order determined by a coin flip.
 The Milwaukee Bucks won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the Kansas City Kings, who obtained the New York Nets first-round pick in a trade, were awarded the second pick.
 The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.
 A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection.
 If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated.
 Before the draft, six college underclassmen were declared eligible for selection under the "hardship" rule.
 These players had applied and gave evidence of financial hardship to the league, which granted them the right to start earning their living by starting their professional careers earlier.
