David Thompson jumped to conclusions and dunked on the future with his right hand. Just like old times.
He laughs about it now, recalling how the Skywalker turned into a Soothsayer. See, the Nuggets icon was visiting Denver last June 30, which, ya know, also just happened to be the day of the Avs’ raucous Stanley Cup victory parade. He says he gave an interview during said trip and got asked about the burgundy-and-blue party downtown.
“I told them that the next parade would be the Nuggets’ parade,” Thompson recalled with a grin.
