Contest: Win a Pair of Reebok Zig Encore Danilo Gallinari PEs

Leave a comment, win some kicks.

It’s been a tumultuous two seasons for the Denver Nuggets. First there was the Melodrama; then there was the big trade that ended it; then there was the first-round Playoff loss; then there was this year’s hot start, which was almost immediately followed by a rash of injuries and a precipitous fall in the Western Conference standings. And with Denver trying its best to hold on to its current one-game lead over the Phoenix Suns for the final spot in the Western Conference postseason race, we thought we’d reward a few Nuggets fans for their loyalty.

How?

Our friends at Reebok have given us four pairs of the Zig Encore Danilo Gallinari PEs (pictured above)—in Gallo’s size—which we’re giving away, right here.

All you have to do is tell us in the comments section of this post (please provide your real email address when commenting, so we can contact the winners properly) who your all-time favorite Denver Nugget is, and why. It’s that simple.

The winners will be selected and contacted later this week.

Good luck!

    I would also have to say that my all-time favorite Denver Nugget is George Karl. George Karl has been a great coach, working with a young Camelo Anthony, young J.R. Smith, Kenyon Martin, Birdman, Allen Iverson, Chauncey, he has worked with some good guys,and taught them a lot.

    George Karl has gone through a lot, but does not let his personal trials keep him from achieving and his commitment to his team. He is a favorite all time Denver Nugget.

    Has to be Dikembe Mutombo…I will never forget the first round playoff series in 1994. The Sonics had just posted a franchise-record 63 victories, while the Nuggets had slipped into the playoffs with a ho-hum 42-40 record. Besides, no No. 8 seed had ever beaten a No. 1 seed since the NBA adopted its current playoff format in 1984.

    Mutombo dominated the lane defensively throughout the series. The Nuggets were able to beat Seattle 98-94 in overtime. And my favorite Nuggets moment of all-time happened when the final buzzer sounded…Mutombo grabbed the last rebound and fell to the floor, a look of sheer joy on his face as his teammates piled upon him in celebration. Priceless.

    No. 8 had beaten No. 1., and even though the Nuggets lost to Utah in seven games in the next round, they had carved their place in history! Go Nuggets!

    MY FAVORITE NUGGETS PLAYER OF ALL TIME IN DIKEMBE MUTOMBO BC OF HIS WORK OFF THE PAINT AND IN THE WORLD!

    Dikembe Mutombo. A man that that speaks volumes on and off the court without saying a word. Off the court, he’s a genuine person showing off his big smile when he’s doing charity work all over the world. On the court, he’s a monstrous defender by blocking the shots of his opponents and showing off the iconic finger wave.

    I would have to say my favourite player of all time would be David Thompson. I have to point out that he was a three time all star player and now in hall of fame and unreal at free throw shooting that just shows how great of a player he once was. But its not just that….. he had such a explosive jump which made him a really tough defender to go by and a incredible offensive player, can’t forget about his 73 point game! He was also Michael Jordan’s role model and love the number 33.

I know he bounced around a lot , but i love how he can be so good and do it every where he goes, boston , toronto , minnesota , denver , LA . it’s just amazing how he can still be chauncey billups at every spot. no matter where he goes , mr.big shot always comes through

    D. Mutumbo, winning a nuggets championship as the 8th seed

  • J Blackburn

    When is the winner(s) going to be announced?

    Alex English has to be the best because he led the Nuggets to 9 straight playoff appearances, is the all time scorer in denver’s history, and is one of the most prolific scorers in history. Plus, he was put into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997!

    Chauncey Billups is my favorite Denver Nugget of all time, he is a living symbol of denver. A Denver high school and Colorado University student as well as two stints with the Nuggets is proof he is a son of Denver. With a great second time in Denver leading the team to the conference finals in 09 he brought leadership, a great attitude and reliable, clutch play in every game making those around him better on and off the court. Best wishes to him on his current injury because I know he’ll be a key part in the Clippers playoff run next year. Hopefully he’ll come back to be a part of the Nuggets franchise as part of the coaching staff because Denver always will have a place for CB.

    As a massive Nuggets fan since 2005 it would be great to win shoes of one of my favorite players on the current roster!

    My favourite Nugget of all time is Dikembe Mutumbo because he is one of the best defensive players the world has ever seen and one of the best international players to ever play in the NBA.
