This will surprise many of you but Keon Clark was one of my favorite Nuggets growing up. He played just two-and-a-half seasons in Denver including a lockout shortened rookie season. He put up unremarkable stats during that time but as a middle schooler, all I cared about was that he’d dunk on people pretty regularly. He was 6’11” and just 220 pounds, thinner than Kevin Durant with skinny legs that he’d refer to as “rocket boosters.”

Clark played just six seasons in the NBA before he fell out of the league, in large part due to off-court struggles that included drugs and alcohol.
