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?
