Remembering Vince Boryla (and the Second Golden Era of Nuggets Basketball) ...

The man who helped guide the Nuggets to three of their best seasons ever passed away on Easter Sunday at the age of 89.

The moniker of this website - Denver Stiffs - is an homage to what I've often referred to as the "Second Golden Age" of Denver Nuggets basketball. And I would say - unarguably - the most fun Denver basketball fans have ever had since pro basketball became a staple of the Mile High City in 1967.

The Second Golden Age of Nuggets Basketball essentially begins less than halfway through the franchise's troubled 1980-81 season.
