The Denver Nuggets made perhaps the biggest acquisition of the NBA’s post-lockout offseason today by signing Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow to a 5-year, $80 million contract to be the team’s new point guard.

“Winners are winners and sports are sports,” said Masai Ujiri, Nuggets vice president of basketball operations. “We are confident Tim Tebow’s intangibles will translate onto the basketball court.”

Tebow has little basketball experience and hasn’t played the sport competitively since he was a teenager. Yet Ujiri and Nuggets head coach George Karl were impressed by Tebow in a brief workout yesterday at the Pepsi Center.

“His shot looked awkward and very inaccurate,” said Karl. “In fact, watching him practice made me both angry and nauseous. John Fox tells me that means that magic is right around the corner.”
