Stan Kroenke is on a roll. The billionaire businessman and sports mogul has seen three of his professional teams — the Los Angeles Rams, the Colorado Mammoth and the Colorado Avalanche — take home titles in their respective sports leagues over the past year and a half. Now it's the Denver Nuggets' turn to try to give the Walton family in-law some championship hardware as the team heads to the NBA Finals on June 1 following an epic sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers.

“We’ve got a chance — and I’m going to quote Nikola Jokic here — to do something nice," Kroenke told the Denver Post after watching his team nab the franchise's first-ever Western Conference championship over LeBron and Co.

With three recent championships in his rearview and a chance at making more history ahead, we asked whether it's time to start asking this question: Is Stan Kroenke the best owner in sports right now?

In their comments on the Westword Facebook post, readers share plenty of thoughts on that subject. Says Alan:

No, but it would make him a lot cooler.

Responds Matt:

Still can’t watch local sports in our city but yet “best owner in sports”? Far stretch.

Adds Frank:

Tell the greedy bastard to let us watch them on TV.

Comments Chris:

Who cares about the Richie Rich owner? Go, Nugs.

Suggests Sean:

He should try to buy the Rockies.

Concludes Teal:

What a bootlicking article. Jesus, is this really where y’all are at, Westword?
