Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was having a career year in 1996. The 26-year-old guard was averaging 20ppg and 7apg on a 40% clip from deep. But when Joe Williams, a local Denver radio host, brought up on air that Abdul-Rauf hadn't been standing for the National Anthem, everything changed. The backlash came in like a tidal wave – from both the public and from the NBA – and a few months later, he was out of Denver, and eventually the league entirely. In this episode of Forgotten Seasons, Dylan Dreyfuss is joined by Abdul-Rauf to relive the forgotten and iconic moments of his career. The two discuss Abdul-Rauf's rookie season, where he was part of the worst defensive team of all-time, Denver's historic upset in the First Round of the 1994 Playoffs, a promising 1996 Nuggets squad and much more.

The Nuggets were one of the most consistent franchises in the NBA all throughout the 80's. But the 90's couldn't have been any different in Denver. There were all-time bad teams, record-setting seasons (the bad kind), historic upsets, missed draft picks, a National Anthem controversy and much more. In this bonus episode of Forgotten Seasons, Dylan Dreyfuss breaks down what exactly what went wrong in the Mile High City in the 90's.

Ricky Davis has come a long way. He entered the league as a 17-year-old kid from Davenport, Iowa, and over the next 12 years would share the court with some of the best players to ever lace up. FS creator Dylan Dreyfuss is joined by 8-year NBA veteran and current media mogul, Jelani McCoy. Jelani and Ricky are both members of the 1998 NBA Draft class and were teammates with the 2003/04 Cleveland Cavs. Davis relives many of the stops in his journey, most notably the early 2000's with the Heat and Cavs, a 2005 season in Boston in which he finished runner-up in the Sixth Man of the Year voting, and his final stops in Minnesota and Miami. Over his career, Davis was labeled as a journey man, and sometimes even worse as a "good stats, bad team" guy. While he was aware of some of the narratives clouding him, it only fueled him to keep going and do what he loved most: getting buckets. Other conversation points include NBA accessory culture in the 2000s, the great/forgotten Dajuan Wagner, 2005 First Round matchup vs. the Malice Pacers, the fabled UCLA Men's league, his infamous triple double, baptizing Steve Nash and more.

D-Will joins the show to talk about his breakout second season in Utah. After a rookie campaign in which he got spotty minutes, D-Will comes out strong in year #2, putting up 16ppg and 9apg. He became the first second year player since Jason Kidd to put up 16/9 a game. Surrounding Williams were a pair of All-Star big men in Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur, and rounding out the rotation were Andrei Kirilenko and Derek Fisher. Utah won 51 games and finished with the #3 offense in the league. In the playoffs, they defeated T-Mac and Yao's Rockets squad in a seven-game First Round series. Then, they took care of the We Believe Warriors in Round 2 but fell to the eventual champion Spurs in the WCF. This was the first of four consecutive postseason trips for D-Will's Jazz teams.

Daniel "Booby" Gibson joins the show to relive the 2007 Eastern Conference Champion Cavs' season. The main storyline of the Cavs season is the 22-year-old phenom LeBron James. He has the defining moment of his career to this point, scoring the last 25 points for the Cavs in Game 5 of the East Finals vs Detroit. But, what people forget, is that in the following game, it was Booby who stole the show to close out the Pistons, pouring in 31 points and finishing 5/5 from deep. Surrounding Booby and LeBron was Larry Hughes, Big Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Anderson Varajao, Drew Gooden and Eric Snow. Cleveland finished with 50 wins, 2 seed in the East and the #4 defense in the league. Booby counters the opinion that East was weak, explains why Tony Parker was his "welcome to the NBA" matchup, talks through why the Cavs couldn't get back to The Finals, and more.

K-Mart joins the show to dive deep into a historic 2002 Nets season. New Jersey lands Jason Kidd for Stephon Marbury in July of 2001, a move that proved to be one of the best trades of the decade. With Kidd at the helm, the Nets finished as the #1 seed in the East and also boasted the league's best defense. Outside of Kidd and K-Mart, the Nets rotation featured Kerry Kittles, Keith Van Horn and a rookie Richard Jefferson. Heading into the season, New Jersey was dubbed as a fringe playoff team. Squads like Milwaukee (Ray Allen + Glenn Robinson), Philly (defending EC Champs w/ Allen Iverson) and Orlando (T-Mac and Grant Hill) were all pinned as safer bets as New Jersey. Ultimately, the Nets' stout defense and run n' gun offense led them to the top of the Eastern Conference. In the postseason, they beat #8 seed Indiana in a five-game Round 1, handled Charlotte in Round 2, and defeated Boston in the ECF to advance to the franchise's first NBA Finals. In the Finals, they were mopped by the Lakers in four games, a common occurrence for early 2000's playoff teams.

Point God Kenny Anderson joins the show to talk about the 1993 Nets, his second year in the league and the only true look we got at an Anderson/Petrovic/Coleman Big 3. The Nets won 43 games but Anderson broke his wrist in late February from a hard John Starks foul. This was Drazen Petrovic's last season in the league; he tragically passed away in the summer of 1993. His last season was his best – he put up 22 PPG and a shot a ridiculous 45% clip from deep. Anderson dubbed Derrick Coleman as "the best player he's ever played with." DC averaged 21/11/4 and was one of the most versatile bigs in the league. Chuck Daly joins the picture in New Jersey this year fresh off Gold at the 1992 Olympics with the Dream Team. The Nets fell to the Mark Price Cavs 3-2 in Round 1 of the playoffs.

Mad Max joins the show to relive the 1994 Rockets championship season. The Rockets began the a blistering season 15-0 (NBA record at the time) and ended up 58-24 as the #2 seed in the West. They went through Portland, Phoenix, Utah and finally New York to bring Houston their first major league sports title ever. The biggest storyline going into the '93/94 season was Michael Jordan's retirement from the league, announced just weeks before the season was set to tip. To some, Jordan's absence diminishes the Rockets titles, but according to Maxwell, Chicago would have been light work for the Rockets. Max discusses the league without his great friend MJ, Hakeem's greatness, toughest 2-guard matchups, and much more.

Starbury Marbury joins the show to dive deep into his last season in Minnesota. When we talk about 90s and 2000s What Ifs, the scenario of Marbury and KG sticking together into the 2000’s has to be discussed. At 20 and 21 years old, Marbury and KG led Minnesota to 45 wins and barely lose in the first round to a 61-win Sonics squad. In his second season, Marbury became the youngest player ever to average 17 PPG and 8 APG in a season, breaking Magic Johnson's record. After this season, Steph requests a trade and land in New Jersey. Over the next decade, neither KG or Marbury saw a ton of success, leaving fans questioning why the promising duo split.
