Tom Green welcomes Hall of Famer Dan Issel for a wide-ranging conversation that spans Issel’s legendary career, the history of the Denver Nuggets, and the evolution of the NBA. They begin with the Nuggets’ recent injury-ravaged road wins and connect that resilience to Denver’s famous 8-seed upset of Seattle in the playoffs, which Issel famously coached. From there, Issel reflects on his early days at Kentucky, the ABA years, playing alongside icons like David Thompson and Alex English, and what made those Nuggets teams special. The discussion turns to Nikola Jokić’s greatness, how today’s game compares to earlier eras, and why this current Nuggets roster still has championship potential. Along the way, Issel shares unforgettable stories from basketball history, Denver sports ownership changes, and the moments that defined his career.
