The 2006-07 Denver Nuggets season was a high-scoring and historic campaign, highlighted by the blockbuster mid-season acquisition of superstar Allen Iverson to pair with league-leading scorer Carmelo Anthony. Under the leadership of head coach George Karl, the team showcased an explosive offense that ranked among the best in the league and finished second in the Northwest Division with a 45-37 record. The season was further distinguished by Marcus Camby being named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, as the Nuggets successfully secured their fourth consecutive playoff appearance. The third overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, Carmelo Anthony was a prolific scorer for the Denver Nuggets who led the franchise to seven consecutive playoff appearances and a 2009 Western Conference Finals berth.
