The Retired Jersey Project is now in the Western Conference! (Read this if you need to catch up on the rules.) There’s not much to say about either the Denver Nuggets or New Orleans Pelicans on the retired jersey front, albeit for vastly different reasons. The Nuggets have been around for over 50 years. They have six retired jerseys and I’m hard-pressed to add anyone to the list at the moment.
1. I love the idea of honoring past franchises in a city's history -- that would be a perfect way to pay tribute to the Bucs and those players.
2. Who gets hosed the most by Hornets-Pelicans-Bobcats historical morass? My vote is Baron Davis, who is the 5th in VORP if you combined the two franchises' histories and definitely would deserve a jersey retirement if his history hadn't been split.
