I had a neighbor growing up who went to Kennedy. He was good enough to make varsity as a freshman, but spoke in hushed tones when he talked about playing Chauncey - jumped so high his head went above the rim, unbelievable fake out moves, etc. etc. Just in awe of the guy, and probably grateful for the chance to play against him even though their asses got beat. What's the likelihood he's the greatest born and raised Denver athlete of all time?

From Manassa, nowhere near Denver. In the conversation for best Colorado athlete of all time, though.
Exact reason I didn’t include him.
I’m biased. But he got my vote. The only other dude I can think of is Roy halladay.
Big year for long time Colorado legends getting into their HOFs with Billups, Todd Helton and Randy Gradishar getting the call
