"3. Denver Nuggets: \r\n\tThe Denver basketball franchise was originally named the Larks after the Colorado state bird and the Rockets after original owner&amp;nbsp;Bill Ringsby's trucking company. When the ABA team moved to the NBA it obviously had to rename itself. The fans picked Nuggets as the team name after the long history of gold prospecting in the state. So a small rock (okay, a gold rock) is what fans in the Mile High city root for each night. Considering the state's and NBA's reputation for recreational marijuana use, it's apropos that their team is named the Nuggets.\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
