Based in Denver, the Denver Nuggets are a formidable force in American professional basketball. They actively participate in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as members of the Western Conference's Northwest Division. Formed in 1967 as the Denver Larks within the American Basketball Association (ABA), the team swiftly rebranded as the Rockets before their inaugural season. Subsequently, in 1974, they underwent another transformation, emerging as the Nuggets. Following this name alteration, the Nuggets fiercely contested for the ABA Championship in 1976, ultimately falling short against the New York Nets.
