Nuggets sign ex-Gamecock Balkman to extension

It was reported today that the Denver Nuggets have signed backup Renaldo Balkman to a contract extension for a undisclosed amount. 

This is good news after his run in with the law prior to the season start after having his best season as a NBA player in '08-09 - 5pts a game and 3.8 rbs per game.  I know not amazing stats but he is a hustler and a good defender.
