2016 NBA Finals prove anything is possible ... even for the Nuggets!
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY SportsCongrats to the Cleveland Cavaliers for doing the seemingly impossible and for inspiring small market franchises everywhere that they, too, could win it all.
When the 42-win, eighth-seeded Denver Nuggets were down 0-2 to the heavily favored 63-win, first-seeded Seattle Supersonics in the first round of the NBA Playoffs in 1994 it was assumed by all who love and follow the NBA - including yours truly - that the Nuggets would be yet another footnote in NBA post-season history. Just another forgettable team in a countless line of eight seeds to perish at the hands of a one seed, for prior to 1994 no eight seed in NBA history had ever defeated a one seed.
