Can one tweet stem a tide?
Can it signal the beginning of significant change?
If the right person is sending it, perhaps so.
On Aug. 4, Emmanuel Mudiay, the much-celebrated Nuggets lottery pick in this year's NBA draft, sent out this message via Twitter: "Love the fact that I'm a nugget."
Nuggets fans loved it too.
And under the surface, it was the right message at the right time for a team that is not just looking at this season, but also beyond, in trying to build a winner. Free agency will eventually become a big piece of cobbling together a playoff-worthy team.
