    The Nuggets would be a below .500 team without Camby.

We wouldnt be able to attract a big NBA Star if we were a mediocre team. But, I prefer to have a team of depth, chemistry, teamwork, unselfishness, and potential to grow rather than a bunch of superstars that dont work well together. The league is full of superstars anyways, and our model is working fine.

When TJ Ford came over to Toronto, they both bet eachother that eithier could grow a goatee faster, since then none of them have shaved their chin hair, and Bosh still has peach fuzz on moustache. He also cant grow any facial hair on his sides.As for Calderon, I think he ranks up their as an exceptional playmaker. Hes not a scorer. But ran the offense EXTREMELY well with TJ Ford out of the lineup.

    Re: Things other fans don't know about your team/players

    How good of a post player Jermaine O'neal is - He really is the best in the league in the post. The only players who come close to him are Pau Gasol and Tim Duncan. Then Shaq and Yao are probably 4th and 5th. Jermaine O'neal is the definition of a post player. He is the model of a perfect post player. Turn around jumpers, finger rolls, power, using both hands...Jermaine does all of it, at the highest level in the league. There's no one tougher or better than him in the postm.How much winning means to he fans - As you can probably recall, the Pacers organization was completely ruined by the brawl in Detroit. Ron Artest was suspended for the rest of the season and the playoffs. Jermaine got 15 games, Jackson got 30. But we stuck with all those players (we even had shirts that said "Free Artest" (he wore it on the cover of Slam)). And you know why? Because we were the best team in the East. And even with all the turmoil we believed and knew that our core group could win a title. Unfortuantley Artest and Jackson were overshadowed by their past outside of Indiana rather than their extraordinary talents. And they needed a restart - but the fans stuck with the players because we believed that winning was more important than the player's problems. And to this day all the talk is about the problems of the players off the court, but I promise that would all go away if the Pacers were winning. Winning means the most for the fans of the Pacers.How good the Pacers are at developing young talents - Jermaine O'neal, Detlef Schrempf, Reggie Miller, Ron Artest, Jalen Rose...It's still continuing as well - Danny Granger, Ike Diogu, and Shawne Williams are all players who are being developed and are starting to show some flashes.

    Steve Nash has a condition called Spondyliothesis which affects his back. One vertebrea slips under another in his spine, causing severe back pain and stiffness. This also causes probems with his shoulders, knees, and quadreceps.

    <span style="font-family:Arial">Cliff Robinson isn't on the Nuggets but I am going to mention him anyway. Most people don't know that he is the 34th all time leading scorer in NBA history. He has scored more points than Scottie Pippen, Gail Goodrich, Isiah Thomas, Bob McAdoo, Rick Barry, Julius Erving, Magic Johnson, Earl Monroe, Kevin McHale, Bob Cousy, Joe Dumars, and James Worthy. The list of names could go on..</span><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Oh Yeah?

    NY Knicks:Eddy Curry sucks, Channing Frye is "missing a pair" if you know what I mean, Jamal Crawford wears un matching sox to practice, Stephon Marbury is the only player other than the Big O to average 20 ppg and 8 apg over his career, and finally, Eddy Curry sucks.
