The Neggets were anchored defensively by Dikembe Mutombo in the early '90s and notched the very first #8 seed upset in the first round of the 1994 playoffs over Seattle before entering another period of irrelevance. Their prospects were somewhat turned around by Carmelo Anthony in the 2000s, but they continued to struggle in the playoffs and were torn asunder by interpersonal drama. However, they finally managed to get over the hump in the 2020s thanks to two-time MVP Nikola Jokić, whose outstanding all-around play took them to regular season success and the franchise's long-awaited first championship in 2023.

* The '''Hustle Award''' first presented for the 2016–17 season, is the only NBA award to be determined solely by statistical criteria. All players who played at least 50 regular-season games and averaged 15 or more minutes are eligible. The award is determined by analysis of five "hustle" stats that the league collects: "screen assists" (screens that lead directly to baskets), deflections, loose balls recovered, charges taken, and shots contested. Each eligible player is compared against players at his position (center, forward, guard) in each statistic on a per-minute basis. A metric then establishes his performance against his positional peers for each statistic, with the five results then summed to determine the final winner.

This also is a quote that fits better with college basketball- there is no NBA team in Kentucky, and Kentuckians are almost guaranteed to care way more about the Wildcats than the NBA
