The Denver Nuggets once snagged a backup point guard off the scrap heap named Erick Green. A decade later, Green's career has continued overseas and he has signed with a new team to continue balling out.
The 2012-13 Denver Nuggets had a magical season. Trading All-Star Carmelo Anthony for an entire lineup of players helped the franchise build an exceptionally deep team, with 12 capable rotation players. Add depth and pace to a mile-high altitude and the Nuggets steamrolled opponents to the tune of 57 wins.
Things went downhill from there, and as key members of that team began to find new homes over the next two seasons, the Nuggets' depth was eroded and their record spiraled to 36 wins the following season and just 30 in 2014-15.
