In a dramatic but little-known incident in team history, in January of 1978 back up point guard Brian Taylor (who galvonized the Nuggets second unit) didn't show up for one game. In the New York Times the very next day Taylor announced that he was now a free agent. The affect on the Nuggets was profound and was the first in a series of events that eventually derailed the 1970's Golden Era of the Nuggets.

Jeff talks about its affect and how the team responded ... or didn't respond.
