He has not.
He has played for the Portland Trailblazers and Houston Rockets.

kobe4MVP: rolando blackman NEVER played for the denver nuggets

My bad, I meant Alex English.

Alex English played for the Denver Nuggets for the 1980-90 seasons. In fact, he is pretty much an icon there...

Phoenix Suns has to be Kevin Johnson.

When I think of the Suns I think of Amare and Barkley.

I agree with pretty much everything else Najira said except

New Jersey: Kidd
New York: Willis Reed over Ewing. Won a championship on a broke leg and we both went to Grambling State
Philly: The Stilt. The reason Doubleteaming became legal and 3 in the key was made.
Milwaukee: Lew Alcindor (KA-J)
Orlando: Penny
Washington: Wes Unseld

San Antonio: Ice Man, because he's more likeable than either Timmy or The Admiral
TrailBlazers: The Glide
Sonics: The Reign Man
Warriors: Rick Barry
Lakers: Mr. Clutch. Won a championship with Wilt, won Finals MVP in 69 when we lost, and as GM put together the championship dynasty Lakers of the new millenium
Sacramento: Big O. Played for the Royals of Cincinatti when he avg the triple double was here for most of his career.

Philly: The Stilt. The reason Doubleteaming became legal and 3 in the key was made.

Three in the key was around before Wilt.

Sorry ,they widened the lane for Wilt.
