The Nuggets are based in Denver, Colorado that plays in the National Basketball Association, part of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. The team was founded as the Denver Larks in 1967 as a charter franchise of the American Basketball Association (ABA) but changed its name to Rockets before the first season. The team joined the NBA in 1976 after the ABA-NBA merger (Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets and San Antonio Spur). They changed the name again to the Nuggets in 1974 and played for the final ABA Championship title in 1976, losing to the New York Nets. After the ABA-NBA merger the team has had some periods of success, making the playoffs for some consecutive seasons, but it has not made an appearance in a championship round since its last year in the ABA.
