Who is the owner of the Denver Nuggets? How many NBA titles has the team won? Learn all there is to know.
The Denver Nuggets emerged as winners of the 2022/23 NBA championship on Monday, as they defeated the Miami Heat 4-1 in the Finals series. The Nuggets won the game 94-89, and won their first-ever NBA Championship. Their impressive title win has prompted fans to ask who the owner of the franchise is, and we have all you need to know about him.
Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke has reached an impressive accomplishment in the world of sports ownership, with Denver’s NBA Finals victory giving him four championship teams spread across different leagues within the last two years. Alongside owning the 2022-23 NBA Champion Nuggets, Kroenke also owns the 2021-2022 NFL Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams, the 2021-2022 NHL Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche, and even the 2021-2022 National Lacrosse League Cup Champion Colorado Mammoth.
Denver’s win made Kroenke the first owner ever to win a championship in three different major American sports, following the previous NFL and NHL titles he already had lifted. The NLL is not considered a major American sports league. ‘In two years, the Kroenke’s have won a Super Bowl, have won a Stanley Cup and they’re in a position to win an NBA championship,’ Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton recently said. ‘It’s good to be a Kroenke the last two years.’
Kroenke also owns another team on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in English Premier League club Arsenal.
Unlike the Nuggets who won their championship, the Gunners’ bid for the Premier League title was an unsuccessful one as they lost out to Manchester City. Supporters of the Premier League runners-up club have not seemed to show the same love for Kroenke in North London as he has received in the States.
Homemade signs could be seen throughout protests against Kroenke over the past few years at the Emirates Stadium, reading things like ‘Kroenke Out! Gunnersaurus In!’, ‘We Wouldn’t Wish Kroenke On Spurs’, ‘Stop the Standemic’, and many more.
