Denver Nuggets #40 Jerseys: Byron Beck & More

Nuggets #40 Jersey Selection

Honor the legacy of Denver Nuggets legend Byron Beck with this iconic Denver Nuggets #40 jersey. This legendary number was worn exclusively by Byron Beck throughout his entire professional career with the franchise from 1967 through 1977, first with the Denver Rockets of the ABA and later with the Denver Nuggets after the ABA-NBA merger. Beck was one of the original pillars of the franchise, becoming one of the few players to remain with the same team throughout all nine ABA seasons. A two-time ABA All-Star, Beck finished his career among the franchise leaders in games played, points, and rebounds. The Denver Nuggets officially retired his #40 jersey on December 16, 1977, making it the first retired number in franchise history. Crafted from lightweight, breathable moisture-wicking fabric with tackle twill numbers and signature Nuggets graphics, it represents one of the most historic jerseys in Denver basketball history.
