Issel was coach of the Nuggets when they defeated Seattle in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs in 1994 to become the first team seeded as eighth in a conference to defeat the top seed. The Nuggets hornored the 1994 team by wearing the uniform from that season to play the Clippers. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)
