There were a lot of missed shots, but both teams [...]

Rodney White added to the mix
Friday, October 4th, 2002Rodney White officially joined the Nuggets on Tuesday. He was quoted as saying that he has no problem joining a last place team, as he looks forward to a chance to prove he can play in this league (which he really didn’t get in Dallas) and he is excited that Kiki already believes enough in [...]
