Reliving One of the Greatest Moments in Colorado Sports History

Where would you take it if you could find a time machine in Colorado and go back to any date or event in our state? Our first stop would be one year ago. Do you remember why?

One Year Ago In Denver, Colorado, We Made History

I'm sure you've seen the Back to the Future movies, right? We've certainly all fantasized about going back to a certain time or place for a chance to re-do something or re-live a special moment.

As a lifelong Denver sports fan, I've been privileged enough to be here for every single professional sports championship we've ever won. Avs, Broncos, Rapids, Mammoth, even the one time our poor Colorado Rockies got swept in the World Series. I've seen it all!

Denver, Colorado, City Of Champions

One Championship that meant maybe the most to the city, outside of the Broncos Super Bowl wins, was the Denver Nuggets, finally bringing home an NBA Championship, and the Larry O'Brien trophy to Colorado.

This year's NBA Finals wrapped up this week, and the 18-time NBA Champion Boston Celtics held their parade in Downtown Boston. It made me reminisce about our massive and historic parade one year ago in the streets of Downtown Denver... You remember? Nearly one million of us were there for this!

The Nuggets Parade was so special... Anytime you get your first championship, it's just different. However, even though it was the Avs' third Stanley Cup Parade just two years ago, it was pretty damn special too!

Now if we could just get the Broncos back on track, and the Rockies on track, at all, we'd really be cooking again in Colorado. I love my state!
