 | | AAU basketball was attractive to many players for two important reasons, first, for those who wished to remain eligible for the Olympics, they were able to maintain their amateur status. |
 | | Denver enjoyed immediate success in the pairing of Gruenig and McCrackin, with Gruenig named an AAU All-star 10 times as a center and McCracken eight times at forward and guard (as well as being named the greatest player of all time by the AAU in 1939). |
 | | The team produced three AAU championships in 1937, 1939 and 1942 AAU champions and finishing second in 1938, 1940, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945 and 1948. |
