Denver hosts Miami in Game 1 on Thursday.One of the nicest compliments those old ABA Nuggets can pay to today’s group: These Nuggets remind them of them. “The new NBA is like the old ABA,” David Thompson, ‘The Skywalker,’ told The Associated Press in a phone interview from his home in Charlotte, North Carolina. “This Nuggets team, we’re pulling for them.
