A difficult place to live.

he is from spain. is that any reason to be a t-wolves fan?

as a young kid i loved allen iverson (and still do.) i used to go for philly when i was little.. My entire family is Lakers,and even when i was a young kid i really didn’t like Lakers for some reason..when Iverson was traded to Nuggets i sort of followed him to denver and eventually started going for them..over the years when iverson was here, i fell in love with the city of denver, the nuggets and all of its players. when Iverson was traded to detroit i just stayed with the nuggets because they are my team now..they always will be..Nugget for life!!

I totally understand people from Spain being Lakers fans as they follow their player, Pau, wherever he goes. But, after you watch the NBA enough, you should develop a likeness of other players as well. I, for example watch so much NBA that I have favorite players, and thus root for the teams they play for, similar to what you have done with the Nuggets it sounds like. Some of my favorite players are D-Wade, Al Jefferson, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Amare Stoudemire and Shaq of course, so in turn I generally root for the teams they play for. But there is nothing like the Nuggets. When we are playing at our full potential there is no other team that is more exciting to watch.

I’m from Germany and although I have lived in the US since I was 2 I always visit there once a year. There the Mavs aren’t that big of a shit even though Dirk plays for them, and you see more Laker jersey’s than Mavs, probably because it’s trendy. Overall Spaniards care more about basketball than Germans though, who would probably rank bball about 30th in most popular sports in the country. Also in China though, Kobe jersey’s are just as popular as Yao jersey’s I believe.

Where in Spain are you from, Sepioes? I spent a summer living with a family in Barcelona and my host and all his friends were basketball CRAZY! I have a lot of great memories hanging at the basketball court with those folks. My most distinct memory while I was there was while watching a TV broadcast when Camby laid down a dunk (playing for the Knicks then), and the announcer exuberantly referred to him as Marcus “Samurai” Camby (b/c of his tattoos). I need to get back there; Spain is amazing. Let the Nuggets worldwide takeover continue!!!

Are a team that have had years where they seemed to have the cards stacked against them, and yet they were still able to thrill at times when it meant the most. I remember the Nuggs being able to shut down the Bulls when Jordan was still with them and thats the kind of performance that makes you want to root for them. In recent years they’ve been the team that have the ability and talent to just really light up the their opponents sometimes. While it doesn’t happen every game, when it does happen, its enough to really make you want to watch EVERY game just in case that special Nuggets team shows up and just DESTROYS whoever is unlucky enough to be the other team that night. Lets face it not too many teams have had a 58 point lead in the playoffs….
