Thanks, Argentina. You did what every Nuggets fan wants to do.

Our favorite NBA follow on Twitter is the always-hilarious @Mrs__NBA.  She's not only deeply knowledgeable about the league past AND present but she sees things with a fan's eye - which we always appreciate.  She's worthy of a follow not only for her basketball mind but for her unique insights on male / female relationships.  Toss her a follow - or an Afflalo, if you prefer. 

@Mrs__NBA was kind enough to allow us to repost this entry from her blog, Measuring NBA Kicks Since 1946  over at Blogspot.
